MISC - HL 340 (4)

Maybe that last flight didn’t quite leave the legacy at the ole company that you had envisioned.  In fact the way our personal ID’s were ripped away by the CP or his lackey, and then not allowed to then go down to the pilot lounge, may still leave a pretty bad taste in the mouth.  Well, that is all water over the dam.  You can still leave a legacy at the company by buying a brick.   That’s right the company is selling named bricks.   Interested?

Leave a lasting legacy at Delta Flight Museum’s brick sale

Published Date 6/21/2022 11:45 AM

 


​Delta employees, retirees and members of the public can leave a lasting legacy by becoming a permanent part of the Delta Flight Museum experience through the purchase of a personalized brick in the museum's courtyard.  

For the first time in eight years, people have the special opportunity to buy a commemorative brick that will forever be memorialized. The Museum's current brick ordering window is open through February 2023 for installation in late spring 2023. 

"From family members honoring active and retired employees to Delta people celebrating a colleague who goes above and beyond, we are passionate about honoring the Delta spirit that drives the Delta Difference," said Tim Mapes, Chairman and President of the Delta Flight Museum. "This is a unique and meaningful way for Delta people, retirees and others to memorialize someone special in Delta history."

Airlines canceled and delayed thousands of flights over the weekend, and that trend is continuing into the week: More than 950 US flights were canceled as of 1:50 p.m. PT Wednesday, according to FlightAware.

After two years of pandemic layoffs and buyouts, there's an acute shortage of air industry workers -- most notably pilots and flight crews.

Airlines are "having trouble matching supply and demand," said David Slotnick, senior airline business reporter for CNET's sister site The Points Guy. "They're trying to guess what demand is going to mean, while still leaving slack in case of emergency."

Find out what's causing all the canceled flights, what the airlines are doing about it, and how you can save yourself a lot of trouble if your flight gets nixed.

Why have there been so many delays and cancellations?

For a third day in a row, travelers across the country are facing high numbers of flight delays and cancellations.

As of 4 p.m. ET on Saturday, more than 3,300 U.S. flights were delayed and 775 U.S. flights were cancelled, according to FlightAware, which tracks flights in real time.

Friday reported a whopping total of over 8,940 U.S. flight delays and 1,470 U.S. flight cancellations, according to FlightAware. More than 1,750 U.S. flights were also canceled on Thursday.

The thousands of flight delays and cancellations come as U.S. airlines try to recover from severe storms that barreled through much of the country this week, while also working to accommodate the growing number of travelers on summer vacation.
