News and notes from around the interweb:
- Wut The former flight attendant with an OnlyFans who claimed that groups of passengers and a new hire co-pilot joined the Mile High Club on a regional jet flight to Nashville fired her nanny who was filming her OnlyFans because the nanny was having an affair with her husband (even though she and her husband have an open relationship, but the affair wasn’t disclosed). At this point I assume every story she tells is just made up? (HT: H.G.)
- Demolition of Key Bridge Marriott expected in coming weeks
- Your personal countdown for being turned away from the Delta Sky Club, such a strange way to encourage card adoption by making the benefits much less valuable for the airline’s most frequent flyers.
Delta Sky Club Tracker now available in app
byu/radar1989 indelta - United’s stroopwafel should never leave the menu
- Goodwill selling the free onboard earbuds from Delta… why aren’t you taking these on your flights? If you don’t want to sell them, donate them for a tax deduction!
$2.99 for… the free earbuds from delta airlines
byu/Business-Stuff8711 indelta - Okey dokey.
Well, at least Gary included a photo, for once, you know, so we can ‘do our own research’ as they say.
I flew UA yesterday and they didn’t have the stroopwaffel 🙁
Thanks for the tip on the headphones, I have a couple (non-premium) United ones lying around.

That’s a bummer. I love me some stroop! Gonna have to go back to Amsterdam for the O.G. stroop.
On the bright side, Delta still has Biscoff (or ‘Lotus’, whatever it’s actually called). Though, their new gummy snacks, Vegobears, are my personal favorite—alas, they may only be in First.
@1990 I’ve never tried a Vegobear before, I’ll have to put that on the list! I have a spare airline Biscoff in my pantry, saving for a special occasion (I get hungry).
How does a fired flight attendant in an age of endless free porn make enough money on OnlyFans to pay a nanny $100,000+ per year? She isn’t even attractive.
@L737
The irony is that many of these snacks are also sold via retailers, but it is a special treat to have them onboard. I’m getting nostalgic here, but I still fondly recall the honey roasted peanuts on Southwest, though, sadly, they stopped serving them in 2018. And I get it, some folks have peanut allergies, so it’s certainly for the best to not harm them. Those were tasty treats nevertheless!

Lest we forget that ‘beauty is in the eye of the beholder.’ Unless you are a ‘pearl-clutching’ puritan, who are we to kink shame or question the business model of that platform. You do you, sir or madam.
@1990 — Agreed, it definitely hits different when you get them onboard. A simple pleasure so to speak associated with a happy activity (traveling). I too miss the Southwest peanuts but true, for the best. Their snacks now are good too.
@1990, @FNT Delta Diamond — I imagine it only takes a handful of high-rollers who fancy her to contribute to a significant amount of her income.
To be honest, the earphones were never free. The price was included in the price of a seat. The price that Delta pays is surely well less than a dollar each. The cost of warehousing them, distributing them and putting them on an airplane is likely more than their true cost. Goodwill is simply pricing them at a point that they think the earphones will sell at. Buying the equivalent single unit at almost any other store would likely cost more. Maybe they would be less at a yard sale or swap meet.
