Like I said, the FA wasn't blameless but neither, I think, was Mr. Carter. Don't read too much into the upgrade to first class. He is, after all, a member of the press and Delta was probably just doing some damage control to lessen the backlash from the situation. I'm sure Mr. Carter may have pulled a "do you know who I am" with the gate crew at LaGuardia. Of course, he might even be a Delta elite and was entitled to the upgrade anyway and the Post just made it a talking point. We'll never know.
