Plane Worries?

Not much of a difference. It was a wholly owned subsidiary of Delta whose CEO is also a VP for Delta.

Entirely different operating certificate. Totally different airline.

I see my post bothered you enough that you felt the need to report it. Not surprising. I appreciate your clarification on your stance regarding DEI and merit-based promotion. However, the issue with framing DEI as “improperly executed” or implying that it inherently reduces quality is that it often misrepresents its actual purpose and impact. The goal of DEI is not to undermine qualifications but to ensure that opportunities are accessible to a broader and historically underrepresented talent pool.

Regarding Boeing and corporate shifts in DEI, it’s worth critically evaluating whether changes are truly about improving quality or if they stem from external pressures, legal challenges, or political influences. A well-implemented DEI strategy doesn’t mean sacrificing excellence—it means expanding access to talent while maintaining rigorous standards.

I did not report your post.
Stay well.

Flew into Palm Springs over the weekend. Delta Airbus. Uneventful flight... until we land. We touch down for about 3 seconds and the plane felt a little like it was rocking side to side.. and then we take off again. Guy behind me is recording and says "oh shi$$ guys we just landed and took off again, this cant be good" My son (9) starts throwing up. Several minutes goes by and the pilot has said nothing.... pretty terrifying.


Pilot finally tells us there was too much head wind. We circle the airport several times and finally land safely.

Go arounds are not necessarily bad, and often times can be good.

It's very possible they/you caught a gusting headwind and the safer maneuver was to do a go around. Or someone/something had crossed onto the runway (just crossing the "hold short" line means you're "on the runway", even if you are completely 'off' if that makes sense).

Very happy the pilot had the knowledge and skill to do what he did, Im sure he had good reason, was just very unexpected and scary
