Picture this... you're on a 28 hour flight from NY to India. You settle in only to find there's no food being served the entire way other than a muffin.... Sounds like Air Jenny Craig....
John Konrad was settling into his seat for a 28-hour Delta Air Lines Inc. flight last week from New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport to Mumbai, India, when he got some unpalatable news: Along with routine preflight announcements from the cockpit, the captain thanked several flight attendants who had driven to a nearby supermarket and bought muffins so that passengers on Flight 118 would have something to eat.

That's not all... it turns out your pilot retired 10 years ago!
One perilous problem was at least temporarily resolved yesterday, when Delta pilots approved a deal allowing the struggling airline to avert staffing shortages in the cockpit by bringing back retired pilots. Delta had warned earlier this month that an unexpected surge of retirements by senior pilots, who were leaving early to secure at least a portion of their pensions, could force Delta to park some of its most profitable planes and even push the carrier into bankruptcy.
Delta was always bad... but this is beyond bad....
