Today I returned from Orlando, FL to Dayton, OH on Delta. Saturday, I had flown down to Orlando on Airtrans. Granted, this was a last minute booking and I was looking for a discount roundtrip ... I wasn't expecting much ... and I wasn't disappointed. The O/B trip on Airtrans was direct to Orlando ... the return on Delta required a connection in Atlanta. What impressed me is the difference in attitude in the employees. The Airtrans people were bright eyed and bushy tailed ... the Delta people seemed tired and washed out. The cabin attendants, so overweight their girth actually competed with the width of the carts they pushed up and down the isle, serving chimp food and uninspired beverages. The Airtrans flight attendants were younger, slimmer, enthusiastic, and much more in line with what the airlines used to be ... going back to my early years as a passenger, in the late sixties ... when a certain amount of glamour was still associated with the industry. Airtrans is none union, Delta, for the most part, union. Get the picture?
