Serious question, flew RJs under DC for NW/DL and now flying here at Mother D, what’s up with people saying Deltas on the radio? I’m sure it’s been discussed before, but is it a N vs S thing? I never heard it until the last few years...just curious where it originated and for what purpose.

It really does sound dumb on the radio. Like really, really, abhorrently dumb. Almost as ridiculous as when that Richard captain told everyone on guard how many aircraft carrier landings he had, and that if there’s anything he could do to make his flight more pleasurable, “do not hesitate to tell the girls in the back” ugh. Just, no. Noooooooo.
I’ve never used the ‘s’. It sounds weird. It’s something from the 90’s and before I think. It’s not as common today.

The guard thing was some butt hurt regional guy (probably) spoofing the "Captain Hollywood" PA. They probably went back to meowing not long afterward on the way to CLT.
