And I am not afraid to use them. If you are friends with me on Facebook you probably saw this picture:
At the time I was being nice and didn't mention the airlines name giving them the benefit of the doubt. While we are working with the KLM desk here in the Netherlands and they are doing everything they can to help us solve our issue, the bigger question I want to get solved is how are they (Delta/Air France/KLM) going to avoid this in the future. I am hoping that by continuing to push this issue that we can make sure that the gap of information between the three airlines is solved quickly, which is why on the night I posted this picture (Tuesday) I also submitted a comment/complaint letter on the Delta site. Well today in the continuing ongoing saga of Airline vs. Ms. Shannon I had an email exchange going back and forth with the people that monitor the comments/complaints form submission at Delta/Air France/KLM and I have officially lost my mind and have decided to post it all over the Internet.
Below are the email messages* back and forth between myself and the people on the web form end...at least that's what I thought. Blue highlight is from me, all other content from the airline starting with the original form submitted on the Delta.com site and ending with the mail I sent back to them today. (If you want to skip ahead to the bottom read the last two mails.)
*I removed personal information and airline employees names to protect the innocent and those that think reading is hard.

Message: This is the most perplexing issue
I have ever come across. For
ticket, number xxxxxx, I made a change to
the ticket back in May for the Sunday, July xx trip. I then had to call and
make another change. At this point I was told that my ticket does not allow for
changes. I thought this was completely odd since I already made a change to the
ticket, but I looked all over the my receipts and online for anywhere that it
states that I can't make changes and couldn't find any. I then called the
customer service desk and asked to have them help me find where this is
located. One
hour and 30 minutes later, no one can show
me where I can find the rules and restrictions where it says I can't make
changes. I have been passed off to 5 people currently working on my 6th and
still no one can tell me anything. To top it off one of your supervisors (name
removed) from Cincinnati was extremely rude and interrupting me constantly and
could only pass me off to yet another person.
According to her you can only talk to one
supervisor or call back to get a different one. This seems highly ineffective
especially when said supervisor is unable to give me any information. I have
only had great service in the past so this particular call really makes it
upsetting that I can't get anyone to tell me where I can find online or on my
ticket where it says no changes permitted. It absolutely does not say that anywhere.
I would really like an answer on how Delta/KLM/Air France plan to make sure
this doesn't happen in the future, because as of now this Platinum member is at
their wits end.

We are working directly with the KLM desk
here in the Netherlands, but my concern is that one the supervisor I talked to
was completely out of line rude and two that I had almost everyone I talked to
tell me that I was wrong, lying and absolutely couldn't have booked the ticket
on Delta.com. There has got to be some contingency in place for this partner
program. It makes zero sense as to why no one was able to answer my questions.
It's extremely frustrating as (name removed) is a loyal flying blue member and
that no one could see exactly what was going on with our ticket. Is this
something that will be resolved in the future?

That's where this thread is from. Are you
suggesting I resubmit what I wrote before on the same page again? This is
absolutely ridiculous!
