Wasn't Delta the subject of the late night comedians for years?

- "Enjoy the inflight movies ... on the airplane next to you" (after an Oceanic Nav Error)

- "Kid will love the inflatable slides"

I personally heard a discussion between Delta and Gander Control when Delta checked in radar contact westbound to JFK, "Delta, say airspeed ... mach .80, But Delta you were assigned to cruise at M.82 for the crossing ... No sir, my company flight plan says M.80?"

- LANDED AT WRONG AIRPORT

This was all in the "old days" when Delta pilots thought they walked on water (and didn't have reciprocal jumpseat privileges?)

Those Delta guys sure were good
