Oldest living Delta Pilot list: David Roberts has updated this list for this
year now published and posted on the PCN website.
DELTA'S OLDEST LIVING PILOTS - JANUARY 2021
Hello
Everyone,
Each year I compile a list of Delta's Oldest Living Pilots, which
includes ALL living pilots from ANY airline that is now shown on Delta's
Family Tree schematic (attached below).
This is the First list for 2021 and is attached below in both MS
Excel and.pdf formats and is current as of TODAY, January 15, 2021 --
only...!!! This is a list created from various sources that provide each
pilot's date of birth. The age of each person increases by one year on their
day of birth using a spreadsheet formula --- so the list is correct for
today only.
There are two lists below in two formats each; one, the OLDEST, is
sorted by AGE and the second, NAMES, is sorted
alphabetically. Each list is in MS Excel format and in .pdf format,
whichever you prefer.
Note that at the bottom of the list there are seven former C&S pilots
for whom we have dates of hire only, but no dates of birth. They should
be included due to their dates of hire but we know little else about
them. We need names for their initials and dates of birth and dates of
their death if anyone has that information.
Due to privacy concerns I will NOT PUBLISH the pilot's Date of Birth, only the
month of birth and the pilot's age - as of the particular DATE of this report
-- which is stated at the top of the report. But to compile this report
accurately I need each pilot's exact Date of Birth in the data base.
If you know spouse names for those shown with question marks, please click
Reply and send me that information. If any pilot shown should pass away
during the year they will be highlighted in Yellow with their date of death
shown.
There is an E in the Email column for
those for whom I have an email address. If you have an email address for
any of the other pilots, please send it to me so I can send them this list.
I arbitrarily determined several years ago that a good age for inclusion on
this list was the calendar year the pilot reached the age of 86 and the
2021 list is now as complete as I can make it. For the year 2021
any living pilot from any of the companies now on Delta's Family Tree with a
date of birth of 1935 or earlier should be included. The list is a
work-in-progress so help me make it grow, in size and accuracy.
If you know of a pilot whose name is missing and should be included, please
send me that pilot's FULL name, Spouse's name, the pilot's Date of Birth and
Date of Hire and the pilot's ORIGINAL airline company --- or as much of this as
you know. If the spouse is deceased, please include that information with
the spouse's name.
Lets celebrate Delta's Oldest Living Pilots again and again. Send them a
Birthday Card or an email at the beginning of their month of birth.
That's close enough for us old folks.
Please FORWARD this to your Delta friends as I only have a limited
number of email addresses. Insure that everyone on this list receives a
copy of this list..!!!
Thank you for your help.
Stay safe out there.
Dave

This from the Delta internal news. Delta ceases insurance surcharge for unvaccinated
employees:
Delta
Will No Longer Charge Unvaccinated Employees A $200 Health Insurance Surcharge
By Ashley Palya
04/13/22 AT 3:22 PM
Delta Air Lines will end its $200
monthly health insurance surcharge for its unvaccinated employees.
The surcharge was added in
November due to hospital stay charges for each employee with COVID-19 costing
Delta about $50,000. It was also meant to encourage employees to get
vaccinated.
“We’ve
dropped as of this month the additional insurance surcharge given the fact that
we really do believe that the pandemic has moved to a seasonal virus,” CEO Ed
Bastian announced during a Wednesday quarterly meeting
call.
“Any employees that haven’t been
vaccinated will not be paying extra insurance costs going forward,” Bastian
said.
A Delta spokesperson said the
surcharge will end on April 30.
Delta did not go into detail about
how many employees were paying the surcharge, but more than 95% of its 75,000
workers had been vaccinated since January, according to the company.
Any new hires for Delta are also
now required to show proof of vaccination.
Delta has
supported ending the mask mandate for air travel. In March, Bastian and other
airline executives sent a letter to President Joe Biden urging him to
eliminate “COVID-era transportation mandates such as the federal mask
requirements on airlines.”
In a statement at the time, Bastian said, “Current data
and science show it’s time to move from mandates to guidance and personal
health choices.”
