Odd that this happened in ATL. Usually the lavatories are serviced at the hub. I looked up flight 47 ATL-SFO on 30 Aug. Your flight departed 85 minutes late. Was the aircraft delayed from it's previous city? Perhaps if they were in a rush to get the plane back in the air the lavs may not have received full servicing? Or perhaps was the delay because they were aware of a problem with the lavs and were trying to fix it? It could be a number of things but traveling in a flying cesspool is just awful. My only experience was on a regional jet and the lav smelled like a herd of circus elephants had relieved themselves in it. On second thought, I've been to the circus and this was way worse!

I would think that a well written letter would result in some sort of compensation. It would probably be in the form of a travel voucher for use on a future trip. You could always use that voucher for Northwest operated flights on Delta.com however Northwest's fleet is older than Deltas!
