But I suppose Delta doesn't trust the Indians enough to let them do things to their database. This can be solved with delegation.

It took forever, and the guy (in India) never really understood what we were trying to do. We finally thought we had it resolved, and then our confirmation had a wrong name on it. That took another phone call and going 'round and 'round again. We finally got the right name on the confirmation, but I didn't breathe a sigh of relief until we checked in for our flight. And don't get me started about our problems with one of our Dell computers... My husband has spent hours on the phone with someone in India, and it still isn't resolved.

It turns out the only people that supply this particular esoteric item are all (I'm guessing Chinese--even at the American suppliers) with whom English is apparently their third language.
