OK... but why the [deleted] did you choose to have the pilot depicted on all fours?! What is THAT supposed to imply?

What's a "short call"? Is that like a DCI thing?

His raw is 160 because he's junior, and he's just been assigned his shortcall the last day before his X day's, obviously. You know, shortcalls being a totally different bucket and all. :D

Pilots flying red-eyes across the continent, cleaners cleaning the terminals, maintainers busy fixing the planes and deep-cleaning them, ACS washing jets and polishing windshields... all done with some holiday cheer and a smile.

But having everyone out dancing around with marshaling wands in a clear waste of time? Gah! That doesn't make Delta or any of our employees look good or Holiday spirit-ish, it's just a bogus dance video. Particularly when you consider that anyone who has flow Delta more than twice has certainly sat at the gate, staring out the window while listening to the Capt say "Folks, please remain in your seats with seat belts fastened, we're not quite at the gate yet... we're waiting for some marshallers to arrive so we can pull that last 100 feet into the gate." Meanwhile, out the window, three lazy sacks are trodding sluggishly across the pavement without an ounce of urgency amongst them...

Sorry, but that video punched every bad button I have as a Delta Customer, and a few of them as an employee lol.

Hey, if you like the video, great. I just thought it came off as an attempt to reuse the flash mob dance video we saw not all that long ago into a more choreographed version with better cameras and dancers. The post introducing it implied it was for customers who fly with us more than just occasionally. Well, I've heard from some high value customers that they don't care for the extra attention some FAs and pilots give them in the form of more talk and chit-chat when they'd rather be left alone. My guess is they'd rather not see this video come their way either. Now if you've gone through all your reruns of The Lawrence Welk show for the week and are jonesing for the dance, then this is right up your alley. Just my $0.02.
