Cookiegate 2016: Live Reporting From The Delta Sky Club

It seems the deceitful not-a-chocolate-chip-cookie / chocolate chip cookie at the Admirals Club has created one of the most controversial, thrilling, must-watch cookie situations since the delicious Cookie on Empire.

Reporting live from the front lines on rival territory — aka the Delta Sky Club at Terminal 5 — I can report that the reason Delta seems to be perpetually better, operationally speaking, than American Airlines is because they label their damn cookies.

Or maybe that’s just a by-product of their superiority, not a reason for it, depending on your stance re: carbs.

But seriously: IT’S CALLED A LABELLED JAR and it clears up a lot of confusion and prevents a lot of disappointed cookie monsters.

And for the record, that triple chocolate chunk cookie was excellent.

"Or maybe that’s just a by-product of their superiority, not a reason for it, depending on your stance re: carbs." Well, Nick, since all Delta flights worldwide are grounded again this morning due to "a power glitch" in Atlanta-- I'd say DL is proving once again that your affinity for them is mis-placed. They are the nation's worst, operationally, and there's are over 100,000 stranded people today that would agree with that statement.

Does the lounge have a sign on the door saying "This lounges uses cookies to improve your navigation. Click here for more information on our privacy policy" ?

As long as they provide tongs to take the cookie out of the jar I am happy. One of the most disgusting things I have witnessed is seeing a man come out of the toilet, directly to the cookie jar and shove his fist in to root around and grab the cookie of his choice. #Disgusting

Nick: "Blah-Blah-Delta-Best-Blah-Blah" The rest of world: "Oh, two more Delta pilots landed at the wrong airport again the other day.... This bunch of Wrong-Way-Corrigans is supposed to run the Best Operation?! Not buying it." Delta can run all the "we are the best" press releases they want, but the news stories around operational fails at DL show the real story. Analysts are figuring it out, as well, stock price is down 30% from the peak, with more bad news to come.
