This is a voluntary program...but is it “volunteer” service when you get paid for it?
So a capt can get paid $1000 for a day, which is about $125/hr for unskilled “volunteer” work....seems pretty expensive to me.
While not quite “lighting the money on fire”, it does make me go....hmmm
Agree, it is the right thing to do, with Delta’s core principles and all, and there will be “benefits” accrued for being a “righteous business”....but still something seems out of sync to call it volunteer service and then want to get paid for it.
JMHO....not throwing ANY stones, just find it interesting to ponder

Or....they could just work the day at delta...make twice the money for the same “day”of work...get profit sharing and DC on top of it
Buy the “volunteers” at $10/hr....accomplish more “do good” for the same effort...win win win all the way around. Less fortunate “hiringlings” make money, tax revenues increase and a lot more work gets done
So many variables to consider...a lot of ways to skin the cat...some more efficient than others....still...I’m left pondering the meaning of “volunteer”

Great Program. I got paid $907 last month for volunteer work I've done unpaid every summer. In the spirit of Delta's great gesture I'm donating my Give Back Pay to the organization I volunteer for. Couldn't be more proud to work for Delta
