The story goes that we originally went with black hats to hide the oil stains from walk-arounds under leaky recip engines.

Thought she went to jail ... but just learned she posts under the handle "Dalad."

Either way, you would think she could have seen it coming.

When I called, she told me "aint no need to be hiring no homies until the end of 2014. Peopo still movin the hell out of no town, snow town and motown. You gots to grow a mustache, some long hair and learn not to touch that seat belt sign or that damn flap handle unless you be told, Booyee." Sounded to me live Flav o Flav in drag with a fake accent, but she seemed to know about what she spoke.

Nice, Dalad, thanks for the update! It's great to see something encouraging about Delta. It's rumors...so what, I'll take it!

The "Meet Asian Women" ad has been replaced by "Send Mitt Romney Money." How do I go back to the women want to meet me advertisements?

I am quite impressed with our 2 new commercials. Nicely done. I think they are called Up and something about NY. Check them out on Deltanet.
