“the agreement represents a lifecycle emissions reduction of approximately 1,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide” = We’re definitely getting new planes. I am still looking at you 7ERs, 717s, and dare I say maybe 757s? Yes? No? Maybe? No? Ok no.

Funny, I thought exactly the same thing, except it was for the announcement that all pilots are returning to active status.

That to I guess, but that only requires bookings and they have no control over the customer. This requires innovation, partnership and commitment. This is a game changer deal because it commercializes good stewardship and adds value as other large companies look to do the same. First mover points for sure and the lead in business responsiveness as the new administration makes a case for carbon footprint ownership.

Gosh, I now have a dilemma. Things I am proud about my employer for ?...Not sure if I am more proud of carbon offsets, BLM pins, on time performance, good jobs for good wages, leading the charge for mandating masks in the cockpit to protect me, profit sharing when things turn around, ....or, or , or?

I think the carbon offset is prolly preeminent.....especially if you believe John Kerry(the Special Presidential Envoy for Climate) and his assertion that there is only 9 years to save the world.

Kudos to Delta

Go TEAM!

Delta isn't the first if that's what you're suggesting.

I think they are the first U.S. passenger airline to do a large corporate deal like this. I could have missed something though. I know you could voluntarily buy offsets with ticket purchases but this is a corporate account that has the ability to fund real sustainability improvements.

I am proud to work for an employer that is on month 9 of violating our PWA with respect to large RJ non compliance. That’s what makes me happy.

How old are you, anyway? (I'm 50)

Just curious. Totally ok if you don't want to answer.

Something about your tone suggests a younger generation who hasn't been thoroughly screwed over by their employer, bank, government, political party, and/or union. Simulteneously.

Ah, to be young again.

ditto

All of these things are the other things I didn't specifically mentioned to be proud about. I think PS is the one I'm most proud of. Labor has never participated in profits to this degree, ever. And the generosity of the company made it an across the board benefit even though it's only a pilot contractual requirement. Too much effort to rank the rest, but they are all great.
