Delta Kiddie Wing Pins are Back!

Published November 5th, 2010 in Flight Attendants, History, Onboard, Pilots | 8 Comments →

Young (and young-at-heart) Delta customers can again take a quintessential memento of their Delta flight with them.

In 1958, kiddie wings made their debut as part of Delta’s Royal Service first-class flights on Douglas DC-7 aircrafts.  Boys were given “junior pilot” wings while “junior stewardess” wings were handed out to girls.

Kiddie wings took different shapes and forms over the years, but Delta is thrilled to bring them back after a few years off.

There are two varieties – a gold wings pin that a Delta pilot may give customers and a silver wings pin that will be given from Flight Attendants. Both feature the red Delta widget, of course!

So will you be able to take a pair of wings with you off your next Delta flight? You just might! Our crew members are just now getting the new wings to hand out to customers.

Delta First Officer Dan Millerborg awards kiddie wings to a proud new owner.

And if you are a proud new owner of Delta kiddie wings (or have your old wings), tweet us a photo to @Delta of you sporting your wings, or post it on our Facebook page!

An Event to Remember

Published October 29th, 2010 in Airport, Community, Customer Care, Flight Attendants, History, Onboard, Operations, Pilots | 2 Comments →

Delta offers service to more than 350 destinations in nearly 70 countries (on six continents!). However, there is one more destination to which more than 125 frequent fliers eagerly descended upon for four full days to realize lifelong dreams and lasting memories.

That final destination was none other than the world headquarters of Delta Air Lines – a destination more sought after than lazily sipping a Pina Colada under a swaying palm tree by calm waters on the shores of a white Caribbean beach or skiing down the challenging snow-covered slopes of the wintry Alps.

I’m serious.

From October 21 through October 24, 2010, attendees of The 2010 Second Annual Delta Air Lines FlyerTalk Event were treated to an intimate inside look at the heart and soul of Delta Air Lines, including tours of the Delta Heritage Museum, the Technical Operations Center, the Operations Control Center, and the towers above Concourses A and E at the airport in Atlanta.

We also met senior executives during a five-hour question-and-answer session, worked as gate agents for the morning, piloted flight simulators, sampled Delta’s on-board food options near the Spirit of Delta Boeing 767 aircraft and attended an intensive day of Road Warrior Training – a program designed as a way to sample the training flight attendants must complete. We even got to go down the evacuation slide!

This event was designed to allow frequent fliers and Delta Air Lines employees to personally interact with each other to gain a better first-hand understanding of how the airline operates and what customers really want in an ideal flight experience. This event overwhelmingly exceeded those expectations. One thing’s for sure—we’ll never look at air travel quite the same way again.

And FlyerTalk members are already talking about next year’s visit!
