Serious Q to the DL folks:

Is this considered awesome by management, training dep, DALPA?

The only time I will stand on that stool is when I have to tell the pax my company let us all down, and we have a large delay/cancelation/maintenance issue and I think it will help the FAs do their thing in keeping the sheep in the corral.
Just a lowly ULCC pilot, but I do have 25 years plus of passenger handling.

I'm embarrassed to say I noticed it, but why is wearing an FO hat if he's the captain?

And the other thing is that IMHO a TRUE "servant leader" is someone who embodies those qualities WITHOUT verbalizing that they are one.

At least Capt. George was informative and not authoritative.

DAL folk here; this dude's speech is cringe AF and screams douche nozzle to fly with (I've never flown with him).

Rumor has it that the newest captain upgrades are getting shown this video in training as "what not to do as a CA."

We all hate that it reinforces the Delta stereotype and hope this dude is 64.5 so we rid ourselves of this type of behavior.

There's a time and a place for an in person announcement. This clearly isn't one of those times. Hopefully the CP and the DO get a good laugh from the video.

Not to worry... Delta's primary sin, as it were in the past, when flying across the Atlantic, was to give a long winded story about the trip statistics on guard. Ohhhh Boyyyy. Anyway... Every Airline has their share of long winded bombastic types. Thankfully they are few and far between.

Honestly, I think this is over the top even for the die hards........For every one of him here at DL, there are thousands of regular joes here just collecting their paycheck. I've pushed back in several other threads when people say the "culture" is somehow very different here. I'm still standing by my position that here is basically the same as everywhere else especially in modern day times. But stuff like that video makes it harder to argue that. Trying to imagine what this guys first leg of the rotation brief is like.........
