After receiving something like that, I just can't imagine turning around and selling it on ebay.
I would imagine most are fairly new nwa employees...at least, I would hope so. I'm keeping mine.

I think DAL should take a queue from NWA and send a Tristar piece to DAL folks in the classic widget logo.

I am really impressed NWA did this for you guys. That was quite a surprising gesture to the employees.
I hope Anderson gets your message. That would be a great gesture for every original Delta guy.

Would we get an "employee discount" from these guys on ebay?

They're not vice cops! More likely to be found on the demand side.
