Seriously?
There's a Air Force guy who was imprisoned on his base for beating up his wife...and he's now flying for Delta.
There's a guy (Endeavor/old Mesaba) who used to shout "There's another empty kitchen" each time he heard a female voice on frequency...he's also at Delta (Chicago Bears fan and ERAU, AZ background...if you know what I mean).
Would you like more examples?
Yes, there are indeed great guys/gals who also got picked up by Delta...and other majors!
