It’s good to see how Delta has changed for I too have had an experience with the airline.
I was in Atlanta trying to catch a flight to Detroit while on leave. As I was hurrying through the terminal, dressed in Class A’s two Delta stews and a member of the flight crew stopped me and the stew said “Could you hold this?” I said sure and she proceeded to place a cigarette butt in my hand. They all laughed at how funny the joke was on a military member and hurried on. This was in 1970.
I haven’t flown Delta since.
I’m glad that these kids don’t have to suffer the indignity that we Viet Nam era vets did.
Among other things, Delta allows all military in uniform to board with first class.
