In one tweet, Coulter refers to Delta as “the worst airline in America.”
Just when you think it's safe to fly them again, the worst airline in America is STILL: @Delta

Although Atlanta-based Delta has a mostly nonunion workforce with pilots as the only major unionized employee group, Coulter asked: "Does your union hate you, @Delta?"
Does your union hate you, @Delta? Not really worth spending all that money on planes when @Delta gate staff give your seat away.

Coulter was on a flight Saturday from New York to West Palm Beach, Florida, when there was a mix up with the seating arrangement, according to Delta.
Delta initially responded to Coulter via Twitter with a brief apology.
Suckiest @Delta moved me from my PRE-BOOKED SEAT & gave it to some woman, not elderly, child, or sick. I have pictures so don’t lie, @Delta!

Coulter also posted a photo of the passenger she said was given her seat.
On Sunday, Coulter continued to aim her ire at Delta:
Airline crew training at @Delta: Replicate Stanley Milgram's prison experiment at Yale, inducing normal ppl to brutally torture fellow man.

The carrier issued a statement condemning Coulter's maelstrom on social media.
"We are disappointed that the customer has chosen to publicly attack our employees and other customers by posting derogatory and slanderous comments and photos in social media. Her actions are unnecessary and unacceptable," Delta said. "We will refund Ms. Coulter's $30 for the preferred seat on the exit row that she purchased."
