Default DAL employees having fun

Is this the new corporate culture at Delta? Kinda corny, but it gave me a chuckle.

Did they consult with their physicians before engaging in physical activity?

I showed it to my kids, they liked it. The initial song was a little lame, the singing was slightly off, but give 'em credit, it was written by a flight attendant and sung by amateurs--way to get up in front of a crowd & sing. The flash mob dancing was cool...there was one pilot dancing in ATL, WAAYYY in the back left. Was that Carl doin' the dance in DTW?

I don't think its a flash mob if its not done in front of an audience. Apparently in ATL, they had to do 6 takes to get it right.... these were all taped for some management conference to show how "fun" Delta is an how much its employees love working there to other management types.

Lolwut, I think you are correct. Wikipedia calls these activities "smart mobs".

-------------------------------------------

A flash mob (or flashmob) is a group of people who assemble suddenly in a public place, perform an unusual and seemingly pointless act for a brief time, then disperse, often for the purposes of entertainment, satire, and artistic expression. Flash mobs are organized via telecommunications, social media, or viral emails.

The term, coined in 2003, is generally not applied to events and performances organized for the purposes of politics (such as protests), commercial advertisement, publicity stunts that involve public relation firms, or paid professionals. In these cases of a planned purpose for the social activity in question, the term smart mobs is often applied instead.

I like it. Delta does great on the numbers, but long ago ceded "fun" and "cool" to smaller carriers.

"Fun" and "cool" matter. It looks like someone on the 4th Floor gets that.
