I remember that during Mullin's "management", we dropped the "Air Lines" from our corporate name, henceforth to be know as "Delta". I don't know whether we changed that when emerging from bankrupcty (I think we did put the "Air Lines" back in "Delta").
Tsquare may actually be correct.
In that case, the reporter would be just as wrong to call us "Delta Air Lines", as he would be referring to the "Apple Computer Company", or "Verizon Communications Company" or something like that.

Note: some of you whippersnappers that never watched Ed Sullivan might not get it.

Heyas ACL,
All the money guys in my neighborhood are running scared. They usually fall into the party-even-while-Rome-is-burning fraternity jock stereotype, but they've gotten all sullen and morose lately like they just got word their Rich Old Uncle Bill died, but left all his money to the cat.
DYODD... but cash is king.

I am almost totally out of the market, and have been for many moons. I prefer not to make money than to have my shirt taken.

I don't know.. I think it's important.. But he probably wouldn't find it disturbing if everyone called his home Los Angles...

In 1929, Huff-Daland Dusters became Delta Air Service. In October of 1945, Delta Air Service became Delta Air Lines, reflecting a focus on passenger operations rather than crop dusting. I remember in the late 1990's, a vestige of the past slipped by almost unnoticed.. Delta changed it's SEC reporting year from April to January to match other corporations. Why was it April? Because April was the beginning of the new crop dusting season...
I don't think anyone who sent a letter to the company asking for a job and got one used the word "Airlines".

There was no point there implied or otherwise. It was just meant to be silly. That's the problem with the Googles and the Internets and the Tubes. It's hard to convey your real meaning in text.

YouTube - Accidental Gear Up Landing
I wonder how many small plane gear up landings could be avoided by changing the beeping gear warning noise to one that says "GEAR, GEAR" ?
At XJT, good life lesson here that even non-XJT or RJ folks can enjoy, I was in a recurrent indoc in our brand new awesome training center and we were doing a CRM study on the Continental DC9 gear up in IAH (didn't turn the hydraulics on, went through the motions but landed gear and flaps up). At the end of the CAL in-house video, we had a discussion. I'll never forget this one pilot, not a brat kid but older, bloviating about how HE NEVER ignores warnings, not a single one, no matter how common they may seem. A multitude of other pilots audibly agreed that they did the same. BTW, did I mention the training center was new? Do you know what its like to be in a new building? Lots of fire alarms, none real. Anyways, the instructor, awesome guy, goes "you know its funny, all of you keep saying you can never ignore any warning signs but the fire alarm has been going off for ten minutes and not one of you did anything." You could've heard a pin drop. I'll never forget it, it was classic, it was funny, and it was awesome to see know-it-alls eat crow so quickly.
FWIW, FTB came from the Brasilia, if it didn't give you false warnings then the warning system was broke. Think about it.
