What\'s going on with Delta?

I got an email from Delta today about their restructuring. (I assume most of us did) It seems like they are trying to prepare their customer base for bankruptcy. I haven't seen anything recently about it though. Has anyone heard heard anything more?

I'll post the message if anyone hasn't seen it let me know.
 
Re: What\'s going on with Delta?

No, I haven't heard a thing. As far as I know they are doing just peachy (as we say in ATL).

Could this have been some kind of scam? Did they ask you for any personal information?
 
Re: What\'s going on with Delta?

I'm pretty sure it is direct from Delta, I think I got it because I'm signed up for skymiles (that's why I figured everyone had seen it). I may have made it sound worse than it is. But it seems like large corporations tend not to tell someone what will happen IF it goes wrong unless they know it WILL go wrong... or they are forced to by law

here's the email in full

Dear Mr. Richardson,

We at Delta Air Lines understand there is more choice in air travel than ever before, and we are working hard to be your preferred airline. You may have read in the news about our transformation plan and the work we are doing to become an even stronger competitor for your business. Delta is committed to meeting your travel needs now and in the future.

Our goal is to create a new airline for a new era--one that is comfortable, affordable, simple, stylish, and inviting to our customers. In the weeks ahead, our focus will be on continuing to implement the vision of a newly structured, customer-focused airline, with a cost structure that allows us to compete aggressively wherever we fly.

While we strive to make your overall Delta experience more enjoyable and convenient, we recognize that we have several hurdles to overcome to avoid court supervised restructuring. We continue to work to avoid this outcome. However, even if it were to happen, we will continue to
provide you with safe, secure, and reliable service both in the air and on the ground. For example:

> Tickets will be honored, and refunds and exchanges will be made as usual.

> The miles in your SkyMiles(r) account will not be affected, and you will continue to have the opportunity to earn and redeem miles with Delta and our partners just as you've always done.

> Amenities like Delta's Crown Room Club(r) will continue to be available in select cities we serve.

> You'll still earn one mile for every eligible dollar spent and Always Double Miles(r) on qualifying purchases made with the Delta SkyMiles Credit Card from American Express(r).

Please visit delta.com/transform by clicking below for the latest Delta news, more information about the improvements referenced above, and our plans to create a better travel experience.

I guess I was just surprised to see a "Don't Panic" message, since that usually means it's time to panic

Re: What\'s going on with Delta?

Re: What\'s going on with Delta?

I've been watching what Delta has been saying (or more accurately, not saying) to the street about their financial condition over the past couple of days. The signs are not good.

I've never flown on Delta. Heck, I never even flew in a Boeing.

I knew I was in trouble when you guys got called up and got 1A and 1B and it was like 15 minutes later before they cleared me ...

If we're talking about flying IN Boeings, though ...

Re: What\'s going on with Delta?

I just commuted into ATL tonight and sat next to a real fat guy drinking red wine. I thought I'd have a serving of white wine and work on some 3 month old "Hey Doug" email.

So I'm about 2/3's finished with the glass, munching happily away on some pretzels and the fat guy snores loudly and wakes himself up. He looks around and gulps down the rest of MY wine and starts rifling with my pretzels.

"Sir!" I said.

"Uhh, whuh...."

"Weren't you drinking red wine?"

"Uhh, yeah"

"Well, you just gulped down my white wine and those are my pretzels!"

"Oh, uhh...sorry"

Re: What\'s going on with Delta?

Haha, funny story Doug; although not for you I'm sure. I'm doing my part with Delta, I'm riding them to Myrtle Beach next May.
