Because I’m able to balance both of my careers. “I’ve had an incredible journey with Delta over the last 20 years. Since January 2001 when I started my career here, I’ve been able to grow immensely, balance my duties as a member of the Air Force Reserve and take the time to support and grow with my family. Delta understands my military service, and they have made the constant transition between military and civilian life seamless every step of the way. Every flight I take in both the civilian and military capacity reminds me that I made the right decision in my career choice. The most memorable moments are when young women and girls see me in uniform; the look in their eyes when they realize I am flying the plane is priceless. My hope is they believe, ‘if she can, we can’.” — Dana Nelson, First Officer

In March 2020, flight attendant training came to a halt due to the COVID-19 pandemic. ‘G class’ headed home, with Delta’s promise that they’d be the first to come back when it was time. 78 weeks later, we welcomed them back to resume training, our longest training class in Delta history. On October 1, 99 trainees celebrated graduation and are finally headed to the skies to support their fellow flight attendants. Congratulations to the 2020 G class!

Our recognition on Forbes' World’s Best Employers list wouldn’t be possible without the 75,000+ Delta people who show up every day to make our airline a great place to work.

We seek to reflect the world in which we live, work and serve. Last year, Delta committed to taking action on inequity and injustice and that included being transparent and accountable to those commitments. View an update on our efforts to become more diverse, equitable and inclusive.

Because before there's a banner, band or float, being proud of who you are and who you love is something to celebrate. “It's Pride Month. And while it's nice to see rainbows everywhere, this year it just means so much more. A reminder of why this month is imperative. I haven't always been proud of who I am. Haven't always accepted myself. It took a looooong time. That's why visibility and acceptance are so important. True acceptance. As human beings. Not just as a consumer group. And I'm proud of who I am, how far I've come, and where I am today. Working for a company that values and champions all people and is making huge strides to make sure at every level there's equal opportunity and diversity. I'm so happy with my life, my beautifully supportive family, and the chosen family I get to surround myself with every day. The best is yet to come. That's why I'm celebrating.” - JC T., Flight Attendant

Our sustainability business resource group, Green Up, works with teams across Delta to find thoughtful solutions to how we can be a more sustainable airline. This #EarthMonth, Jesse Miers, outgoing Green Up President, shares some of the little changes they have made that led to large impacts.

Every year around Valentine's Day, we celebrate the spirit behind Delta - our employees. It’s no secret 2020 was filled with turbulence, and our people have been the constant carrying Delta through. Almost 40 years ago, during another trying time, Delta’s first Boeing 767 became a flying symbol of Delta’s pride and culture – named The Spirit of Delta. Last week, we celebrated our people with a new Spirit to guide us into 2021 and beyond. Ship 3502, an Airbus A350, is being dedicated to all Delta employees worldwide for their continued resilience and indomitable spirit during the coronavirus pandemic. To the world’s best employees – thank you. You are the ones that helped us Keep Climbing, together, during this historic time. The Delta Spirit is ready to welcome new travelers aboard and connect the world once again.

Black History Month celebrates the impact Black heritage has had on our country. As we take a look back at history, it's also important to determine how we're going to change for the future.
