Comments on: Does Andy Azula have a Superiority Complex? http://badice.com/2009/07/15/andy-azula-has-a-superiority-complex/ badice.com ~ musings for the masses Mon, 07 May 2012 21:28:14 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Stephan Segraves http://badice.com/2009/07/15/andy-azula-has-a-superiority-complex/#comment-67 Stephan Segraves Thu, 13 May 2010 14:46:45 +0000 http://badice.com/?p=2349#comment-67 MissAmandala, I am fine with him writing a letter to Delta and even posting his grievances on a website. What I am not ok with is the DYKWIA (Do You Know Who I Am?) factor. If he's such a frequent flyer with Delta then that's where his argument should lie, not with what he does for a living or how famous he is. If he's disappointed with Delta and gives them so much money with his travels, then he should be voting with that cash and going elsewhere, not stomping his feet like a baby saying "I'm famous, I deserve better!". The situation also sounded like one that was partially out of Delta's hands (weather, mechanical issues) and there are only limited things that they can do in those situations. People miss flights all the time and I see businessmen at airports screaming at the top of their lungs at agents because there is a thunderstorm delaying their departure. Give me a break. MissAmandala,

I am fine with him writing a letter to Delta and even posting his grievances on a website. What I am not ok with is the DYKWIA (Do You Know Who I Am?) factor. If he’s such a frequent flyer with Delta then that’s where his argument should lie, not with what he does for a living or how famous he is. If he’s disappointed with Delta and gives them so much money with his travels, then he should be voting with that cash and going elsewhere, not stomping his feet like a baby saying “I’m famous, I deserve better!”.

People like some of these respondants who simply trash the man because he mentioned who he was. Are you serious? So what if he is trying to point out to Delta who he is? Did he once say " I'm f****** famous and deserve to be treated better!" ? No, he did not. He repeatedly said how sorry he felt for everyone and the strife that they all had to go through. He clearly and concisely put out there the details of the situation in order to lend credibility to his claims, which is generally a good idea when writing a complaint letter. What I hear coming from you is just purely juvenile. He had every right to be upset. Yes, I hear the "but it happens to LOTS of people!", however if they all posted their complaint letters to the net like this and caused a stir, SOMETHING might actually happen one day. I give the guy kudos for having the backbone to complain and not let bad service (again) go un-answered for. You know what really irks me?

I once spent over 12 hours going from Burbank to Seattle on American Airlines. Another classic tale of how not to run a business. Speaking of sucking it up, I'm a teacher and you should hear some of the spurious complaints and lame excuses I get from parents. And guess what -- I'm not some name on an annual report. They have access to me. I like to see corporate America have the level of accountability that we have. I think Azula added the information about the UPS ad to literally put a face on his complaint.

I'm utterly tired of elitist attitudes and self righteous senses of entitlement due to wealth or fame..

Suck it up Andy. There were just as many people with similar horror stories, losses, costs, emotions and embarrassment that day. Shit happens. Been there done that… Suck it up Andy.

I am going to see if I can find it somewhere else and repost it here. I do not blame you for not flying Northwest, they are not the greatest airline out there. What people need to understand when traveling is that as long as the delay issue is not weather related, the airline almost always has an obligation to accommodate their passengers on another carrier to get them to their final destination. This is in the Contract of Carriage and should be used any time the delay goes over a couple of hours. Again, my issue is not with Andy Azula's complaint, it's with the way he presented the complaint, touting himself as a higher member of society in hopes to provoke a response from Delta.
