I was talking to a very senior DAL dispatcher yesterday and its amazing the number of ATL diversions they had last Monday due to thunder and hail.

Was this in the context of "How dare thunder and hail get in Delta's way!"? :)

Very important, please don't forget, you want "DATE OF HIRE!"

A buddy of mine did that on an ATA flight back in 2003. We also ordered about 350 dinners from a local Mexican restaurant when the company messed up and forget to arrange catering for an L-1011 flight moving troops from the Midwest to the Middle East (I can't remember our departure airport at the moment. Far better than the normal catering, though there may have been some other "effects."
