I've never heard any of our crews refer *only* to Delta. If anything, there was a push by Delta for us to NOT refer to a "Shuttle America" flight or, as is STILL the norm at Comair to say, "Welcome aboard Comair flight 5478 to XYZ." (and never mention Delta or Delta Connection at all) A memo came out a few months ago directing us to only say "Shuttle America/Chautauqua" once in the pre-departure announcement and thereafter only refer to Delta and Delta Connection. We routinely thank our guests "on behalf of all Delta and Delta Connection employees worldwide." So, what did that "pissed off older Delta pilot" get for his huffing? Yeah, that's what I thought.:bawling:Why on shuttle america do the flight atts and pilots only refer to Delta, not even Delta connection. The pilot said "thanks for flying Delta from your IND based flight crew". the Flt Atts said thanks from all Delta employees from around the world. There were 2 OH crews on board, and countless Delta flt atts and pilots going to work. We all got a good laugh except the older Delta Pilot he seemed pissed, since he asked the boy george wanna be Flt Att. who he worked for. This said flight was from MSP to CVG on the 08/15/08 at 11:43.
