delta is the number number one and the real reason that delta seems to be doing better than the other is that they have a lot of these regional flights where they're a little bit over guidance of but they get to places that people go so when you talk about whether or not the seats is right except in what the price point is you also look about how long it's going to take you to get to where you know like to be and part of that for delta has been really good because it got all of these regional places that they go a get you there faster and very able to make a profit on that so delta despite. tweeting the word airlines they seem to be doing just very well thank you don in atlanta. part of the pain though it's let's talk about the t.s.a. . of the airlines at the t.s.a. is mercy obviously it's federally controlled it's very important. but when passengers have to go through these metal detectors and things like that it does affect the sort of travel the whole go around scenario that i'm trying to say i find that waiting in lines and then the going to the rules of magnetometer isn't and now

delta didn't give my extra room to an ar marshal or tall person.e's the woman given my prebooked seat. she actually includes a picture, so then delta hits back with this seat. >> ann coulter we're sorry, we will refund your $30. additional year insults about other customers and employ crease are unacceptable and unnecessary. with me now to discuss this jacqueline whitmore a former flight attendant now a international business etique e business etiquette. first of all it's the flight attendant duty to make sure all -- ann coulter was moved to a window seat, and -- but it was in the same aisle. she had the same exact legroom. she was flying from no, to palm beach, so it was a three-hour flight, so most people would just say, hey, i'll just move and let someone else have my seat. what i understand from the article that i read is the flight attendant set after ann coulter said why are you moving me? the flight attendant set, i don't know. you never say i don't know to a customer. in fact, what should have happened is a gate agent should have come into

delta sent out two tweets to her dozen... apologizing to her, refunding her $30 for a preferred seat and saying "your insults about our other customers and employees are unacceptable and unnecessary." delta got a lot of praise on social media for their response... coulter, not so much. happening this week - o-j simpson will plead for his freedom. the highly anticipated parole hearing is set for thursday afternoon in nevada. simpson's ex-lawyer says if all goes well - the former football star could be walking free as soon as october. he says the 70-year-old has been a model inmate and will likely be gr eight years of a 33-year sentence for armed robbery and kidnapping. a happy ending for an injured bald eagle found in d-c. after a few weeks at rehab facility - the eagle is now back in the skies! the bird was found on the ground, unable to fly near eight and xenia streets in southeast. that's about half a mile from the police academy where two eagles - "justice and liberty" have been nesting under video surveillance originally,

it is an kultur versus delta this morning. why she is squaring off with delta coming up. kidd: 36%. -- john: 36%. president trump's approval rating. we are asking one word to describe why. we will talk about it coming up on "good morning washington." hundreds of people are showing up to arlington national cemetery to work. countless ailments. countless hours. and guess what? you can handle it all. be a leader in your field with a bsn from strayer university. a nursing program created by and for nurses. let's get it, nurses. larry: president trump hitting an historic low. autria: our question to you, do you approve of the job president trump is doing? right now, john gonzalez is live in silver spring the reaction coming in this morning. john: good morning. six months since donald trump became president of the united states and the numbers are in and they are not good for the commander-in-chief. only 36% of americans believe he is doing a good job, according to this latest poll. take a look at some of the

the delta. but a long-term solution demands more pumping. while california's population has doubled since the 1970's, we haven't completed a single major storage project in that time. that's worth restating. th california's population doubled since the 1970's, we haven't completed a single major storage project in that time. how can california grow and thrive in the future if we depend on inadequate infrastructure from nearly 50 years ago? currently five reservoir projects have been stalled in regulatory and red tape for decades. if these reservoirs alone are built, we could store between one million to 1.5 million acre-feet of additional water in our state. so we need to build more storage as soon as possible. last year's water bill jump-started the process for building new reservoirs in california. it was a bipartisan bill with the vote being hundreds of votes out of the house, more than 70 in the senate, and today's legislation builds on that by requiring the federal government to finally fin
