Delta debuts on Fortune's 'Most Admired' list, named top airline
|
February 27, 2014

Fortune magazine named Delta No. 48 among the Top 50 of its
World’s Most Admired Companies All-Starlist today for the first time ever. That honor was made even more
significant when Fortune also named Delta the most admired airline in its 2014
World’s Most Admired airlines list for the third time in four years.
In a memo, Richard congratulated and thanked employees and noted that the
honor recognizes the hard work and great accomplishments of Delta people
worldwide.
“Thank you for your continued
focus on living by our Rules of the Road and executing on our Flight Plan
despite the many challenges we have already faced this year,” Richard said.
“You are truly the most admired employees in the global airline business.”
The Fortune Top 50 rankings are
based on a survey which asks top executives and directors across all industries
to identify the 10 companies they most admire, regardless of industry, from a
pre-determined list. The annual World’s Most Admired Companies airline rankings
are based on the results of a global survey of airline executives, boards of
directors and industry analysts who are asked to rate companies in their
industry on the following criteria: people management, social responsibility to
the community and environment, quality of management, innovation, quality of
products or services, use of corporate assets, financial soundness, long-term
investment value and global competitiveness.
“None of this would be possible
without the collaborative efforts of all our people – the best people in the
business,” Richard said. “It is clear that when we work together and ‘keep our
backpacks on,’ we can achieve great things.”
In addition to the rankings,
Delta is also the focus of a feature article in Fortune’s upcoming Most Admired Companies print issue.
The article details how Delta has impacted the airline industry’s
transformation and how its unique business decisions are positioning the
airline for success in the future. A Fortune reporter visited Delta’s Atlanta
General Offices in early 2014 to speak and visit with Richard and other Delta
leaders.
“With so much going right, it's
easy for Anderson to make the case that Delta's turbulent times are indeed in
the past,” the story said.
Fortune’s ‘Most Admired’ issue
will be available on March 17.

Companies from Delta
Air Lines Inc. to AT&T Inc. are lobbying state legislators across the
country saying laws perceived as anti-gay are bad for business.
Editor: Why is important for any company to weigh in on a
political issue? Should we expect Delta
to come out pro-life or pro-choice?

NASA’s Aqua satellite acquired this
image on February 19, when ice covered 80.3 percent of the lakes. This
false-color image uses a combination of shortwave infrared, near infrared, and
red (MODIS bands 7-2-1) that helps distinguish ice from snow, water, and
clouds. Ice is pale blue (thicker ice is brighter), open water is navy, snow is
blue-green, and clouds are white or blue-green (depending on temperature and
composition). Image via NASA.
Ice cover on North America’s Great
Lakes reached 88 percent in mid-February 2014, levels not observed since 1994.
The average maximum ice extent since 1973 is just over 50 percent. It has
surpassed 80 percent just five times in four decades.
Nathan Kurtz, cryospheric scientist
NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center, said:
Persistently low temperatures across
the Great Lakes region are responsible for the increased areal coverage of the
ice.
Cold air and winds remove heat from
the fresh water until it reaches the freezing point, at which point ice begins
to form on the surface. Kurtz added:
Low temperatures are the dominant
mechanism for thickening the ice, but secondary factors like clouds, snow, and
wind also play a role.
Scientists say that there was an
early ice season this year, owing to cold temperatures in the fall and early
winter. Ice was reported on bays and harbors of the Great Lakes as early as the
end of November, as opposed to the normal timing of mid-December.
Bottom line: Ice cover on North
America’s Great Lakes reached 88 percent in mid-February 2014, levels not
observed since 1994.

Tsunami Camera
Amazing..
Yu Muroga was doing his job making deliveries, when the March 11,
2011 earthquake hit in Japan. Unaware, like many people in the area, of how far
inland the Tsunami would travel, he continued to drive and do his job. The HD
camera mounted on his dashboard captured not only the earthquake, but also the
moment he and several other drivers were suddenly engulfed in the Tsunami.
He escaped from the vehicle seconds before it was crushed by other debris and sunk underwater. His car and the camera
have only recently been recovered by the police. The camera was heavily damaged but a video expert was able to retrieve this footage.
