Good stuff there. More out of curiosity than anything, how does Delta (or other airlines) go about verifying stuff like this on an application? If I ran a charity organization and got a phone call from a company looking to hire an individual and verifying that he had volunteered for my organization, I might question their reasons for volunteering in the first place. Perhaps I have the wrong take on it, just thinking out loud.
