1. Live long and prosper, Delta. . . .nt

[LizBeth]

2. I am going to ask my boss if my corporation are continuing or canceling. It matters.

I do know as an employee they do not give a shit about me, but this will be a loud and clear message as a woman, within their company, how they choose to play this.

[sinkingfeeling]

3. Good, flying them to Costa Rica a week from today.

[NotHardly]

4. Finally, another corporation with a spine

[Biophilic]

5. Good for them.

It certainly makes them stand out as both smart and honorable. A company worth supporting.

[Uncle Joe]

6. Kicked and recommended

Thanks for the thread morillon

[stollen]

7. I fly internationally with Delta soon

Glad my money is going to a humane company.

[StarryNite]

8. Excellent!

[PatrickforB]

9. Good for Delta, but we'll see how long this 'steadfastness' lasts in the face of MAGA hate. n/t

11. Oh yeah, I know what you mean

But there are some Fortune 25s that haven't caved, last time I checked, and I hope it stays that way. One large company I'm very familiar with hasn't always called their inclusion efforts DEI, but it's been in their DNA since the late 90s. They walk the talk. If they were to abandon it, that'd be absolutely shocking.

A few weeks ago, I got a notice that one of my senior leaders would be personally leading a DEI book club session in a few weeks, and not gonna lie, I fucking burst into tears at my desk. I work remotely, so nobody saw, but I'm not sure I would've cared if I'd been in the office.

13. Pammy's not gonna be happy with this news

[morillon]

10. I love Delta

They're my default, and it's only if there are no alternatives that I'll fly with someone else.

Their safety video is, IMO, a thing of beauty, and it's so cool and inclusive and just freaking nice that I actually watch the whole thing every time I fly.

[stollen]

12. Flying with them internationally

shortly

[Red Mountain]

21. Maybe religion did them some

good.

[Lithos]

23. Super shocked

...

28. Suprising, and this statement on Chick Fil-A's website even more so

given their past history of anti-LGBTQ stances, against gay marriage as I recall:

It has been and shall continue to be our policy that we do not discriminate in employment decisions or tolerate any form of harassment based upon sex, race, color, religion, national origin, ancestry, citizenship, pregnancy, age, physical and mental disability, genetic information, marital status, medical condition, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, gender expression, military and veteran status and/or any other status, classification, or factor protected by federal, state, or local law.


Perhaps there is hope if even a conservative Christian-run outfit like this company is willing to stand up against Trump and for diverse and equitable hiring practices.

[Pinback]

15. They want paying customers.

Like many other businesses that serve the general population, they realize it’s smart to appeal to a broad cross-section of the flying public.

[Joinfortmill]

16. Fly Delta

[Wild blueberry]

17. This makes me an even more loyal Delta customer

Good for Delta!
Thank you.

[Red Mountain]

18. DEI......let's drop the acronym.

Diversity, equity and inclusion.

Always ask.....which are YOU against?

[Clouds Passing]

19. Way to go Delta!

[marmar]

20. Just another reason they're the best operation in the sky.....

.... glad to live in a Delta hub city.

[AlexSFCA]

22. just learn from gop, rebrand dei into equal employment or somethinf

and you’re all set. Better yet, call it Capitalism values. It’s ACA vs. Obamacare, Entitlement vs. Insurance, etc. Dems are the worst marketers, I swear. Repubs can sell horse shit for gold.

[From The Ashes]

24. Wow...

That actually kinda surprised me. Good for them.

[Initech]

25. Thank you Delta!

[Pototan]

26. I'm a Delta flier

with a Delta Sky Miles credit card.

I'm proud of you.

[Liberty Belle]

27. I was never going to fly them again after a recent problem but this change my mind.

I was left stranded in the computer meltdown last summer and felt Delta didn't do enough to help me get a hotel or another flight.

But I'll forgive that and let them know I'll be flying them again since they've stood up for DEI when others cowardly dropped it.

[DFW]

29. Their greatest sin to me was ditching DL90

That was their nonstop from Düsseldorf to Atlanta. MAN do I miss that flight! It was the last regularly scheduled nonstop flight from here to the USA to disappear after Covid, and it was always full. I hate always having to change planes going to and from the USA, but it’s either that or taking the train down to Frankfurt and flying from there.

Otherwise, Delta is part of Sky Team with Air France and KLM, so even when I book flights to the USA on AF or KL, half the time, it’s on a Delta plane. The food is usually better on Air France, but apart from that, there is little difference. Within the USA, I try to fly Delta, but they don’t always fly the routes I need. If forced, we sometimes take United, Jet Blue or Alaska. The one airline we will never take again is American. If they were the only way back to Europe, I’d first consider a rowboat. The only difference is that the rowboat probably offers better customer service.

[Celerity]

30. Trump will go after them hard on multiple fronts.

[sdfernando]

31. Good to hear this.

My flights next week are all on Delta. I always try to fly Delta when I can, but corporate policies often force me to other airlines. Mostly use Delta and Southwest and avoid as much as possible, American, United, and all the low-cost carriers like Spirit & Frontier and others.
