and I have a question and a concern.   I am reading about Delta's
problems here on the groups, and when I expressed my concerns to
Priceline, they did not seem very helpful......all they basically said

As one of the many (perhaps) unfortunately ones who have
bought AlItalia tickets for Italy this September I am wondering
what to make of the latest news?
As a (primarily) state owned company I can't really understand how

First message didn't come through it seems.
The spat between Delta and Gate Gourmet was to the amount of $25 million bucks
GG wanted Delta to pay.
Delta refused to have the judge's ruling published.

Apparently Planestation, the owners of Manston/Kent International
