Delta policy.

As you know, Comair and ASA used to be painted across the tails in man-sized letters. At some point Delta told us to put the Delta wave on the tails and put the Comair/ASA name in big letters on the nose.

Then we got the widget on the tail, and Delta commanded that Comair/ASA show up in the smallest font available and low enough on the nose to not be visible from a jetbridge. Comair and ASA logos were also removed from the cabin and briefing cards (unless you read the fine print on the back page).

Somewhere along the way Delta passed down the edict that we could no longer use our airline name in our PAs, instead requiring us to only use the "Delta Connection" moniker.

Somehow this was expected to bring "one level of service" to our customers. Instead, combined with the reduction of our pass benefits, it has wiped out any sense of company pride at the subcontractors and replaced it with apathy toward our, no..., Delta's customers.
