#2This is slightly poetic after the flights diverted due to the Starship debris the other day.
Also remind me never to fly Delta.

#3> Delta: "The Delta crew on flight 480 continues to follow ATC instruction along its journey from Los Angeles (LAX) to Honolulu (HNL). The flight is en route to HNL with no issue.”
Apparently ATC (Air Traffic Control) was unaware of the TRF (Temporary Flight Restriction) around Vandenburg for launches. Perhaps this will prompt an improvement in communication and cooperation in future.

If this is what you’re choosing as criteria for never flying Delta I’m going to suggest you never fly out of LAX. Commercial airliners are directed by ATC along defined routes or given headings and altitudes by the ATC.

Delta seems to have done nothing wrong, they were following incorrect instructions from air traffic control.

From the article, Delta pilots were following air traffic control directions.

Delta is like the single decent airline in the US.

According to the article, they were flying the route as directed by air traffic control.
As a pilot, I can tell you that when you're being controlled, the controller takes responsibility for your navigation. This had nothing to do with Delta specifically. Any other pilot flying under the same conditions would have done the same.

I wonder if ATC gets a number to call.

It's should not be ATC's responsibility to call anyone with random checks for NOTAMs to issue. If you want a NOTAM, you call ATC.
At least, that's the only way it makes any kind of logical sense.
