I fly Delta and I salute their pilots for taking the time to make that announcement. The last few times I flew the pilots recognized active duty troops on board coming home and the cabin filled with applause. I hope the other air caeeiers are doing the same

caeeiers = carriers

I'm surprised you don't hear of more carriers doing this, considering (I think I'm right here) many commercial pilots got their start flying for the military. Someone correct me if I'm wrong on that point...

The PEOPLE know.

email your President today to tell him you've got his back. He's going through hell right now with all the attacks from the left:

A few words will do the trick. Just tell him you back him up. And, YES, his people will tell him how many Americans are behind him.

On my weekly flight Delta flight from Atlanta to Lauderdale a couple of weeks ago, the flight attendant made the announcement honoring some soldiers on board and asked the passengers to remain out of the aisles to let the soldiers exit first.

A couple of younger MBA types in the row behind me stood chatting on their cell phones in the aisles ready for the door to open so they could bolt out.

Derek S, the COO, of the client I was travelling with, a mid 50's take no prisoners Desert Storm vet, turned around and said "if you boys don't sit down, shut up and show some respect I will personally see to it that you leave this place on stretchers.....gentlemen" (I loved the way he sarcastically stretched out the "gentlemen" at the end)

The buggers sat down really quickly and not a peep was heard from them again.
