Relaxed dress code allows you to travel in comfort
Beginning Sunday, you really can sit back, relax, and enjoy your flight. Our Nonrev and Reduced-Rate Travel Dress Code now gives you and your pass riders the same flexibility as other passengers when deciding what to wear on your nonrev flights. And Global Product Development is announcing that nonrevs now can purchase annual Crown Room Club memberships and visit the clubs when traveling.
“We’re listening to Delta people and making changes to fit our people and our business,” said Mike Campbell, e.v.p.-Human Resources and Labor Relations. “Our passengers don’t base their travel attire on a formal dress code. It just makes sense to give our people that same flexibility.”
The standard, which applies to all classes of service, is based on respect – for our customers and for you, Mike said. “We have the most professional men and women in the industry,” he said. “We trust their judgment every day.” The change also simplifies things for frontline personnel. It eliminates the role of dress code compliance from their duties and gives them more time to focus on our customers.
This means that travelers’ overall appearance should be well-groomed, neat, clean, safe and respectful. Simply said, if the attire is appropriate for a revenue passenger, then a nonrevenue passenger could wear it too. This new relaxed dress code applies to travel on Delta mainline, Comair, and Delta Connection carrier flights. However, if you plan to travel in the jump seat, and you are not wearing your uniform, please refer to departmental requirements.
Another new and relaxing choice formerly reserved only for customers is Crown Room Club memberships. The clubs are offering one-year memberships to Delta and Delta Technology employees and retirees on a trial basis. From Sunday through May 15, you can purchase a membership at the customer rates. The general individual membership is $400 (plus the $50 initiation fee), but there are variations in price depending on SkyMiles Medallion status. The current offer is limited to 5,000 memberships. This number may be expanded in the future.
