I think being an flight attdent in the 70s and 80s and 90s would be an blast now it seems boring
After 20 years as Original Delta, I LOVED this! We sure have come a long way!
Outstanding! When Air travel was something you saved your money for and thought of as a privilege! Something America has forgotten is the training their Flight Attendants must endure to win their “Wings”. Bless them all!!!
@missy3747 Is the Mom shaking hands with another flight attendant while standing at the top of the stairs to the plane?
Not likely since the movie is not shown on your favorite site!!!!
Yes, it has been terrible to witness the destruction of our industry and to see the degradation of what were the best jobs in the world. Thanks for all you do for the profession. The tribute is richly deserved.
Love it!
Thanks for sharing. It’s getting hard up there
in the sky. The job ain’t what it used to be;
but this made me feel proud.

Beautiful!
Often overlooked, but we are blessed by there presence everytime we fly! Thanks for the BEAUTIFUL tribute!
Yes, that is correct. I have one of the limited addition prints of “Night Coach” Neil painted some great shots of Delta airplanes.
The opening photo showing the L-1011 flying toward the new moon?….I have the original oil painting! It’s called “Night Coach” and it was painted by a Delta Captain….Neil Gatewood.
Missy,
I’m glad you enjoyed seeing your mother on my Tribute video. I’m sure this brings back fond memories for her as well.

I recieved a phone call from my brother to tell me our mother is on the internet, I found it hard to believe, but there she is!
standing on the top of the steps, shaking hands with a lady, my mother’s name is Betty Jean Williams.
Nice work, Ron!!
Thanks for you nice comments. I’m glad you were treated so well on Delta. The video was meant to pay tribute to all flight attendants throughout the world. My wife was a flight attendant for Eastern Air Lines back in the early sixties.
Happy Retirement,
Ron
I retired in June of 2002 from TWA/AA after so many wonderful years with TWA!! I’ve non rev’d on DL and let me tell you, DL folks are the best!!!! They treated me with kindness, and were very professional. YOu did a great job with this video, and I was touched by it! I was glad to have flown for TWA but was always looking forward to dead head to LAX on DL from SAN! Thanks for the memories! God Bless

proud to work for delta
Proud to be a Delta Flight Attendant.
I retired June 15, 2009 from Delta and my Father had 29 years as a Pilot. This is a excellent tribute to a group of people who are sometime over looked. The Flight Attendants are the face of Delta everyone sees and they do a awesome job. Happy Birthday Delta. I went to work at ASA two days after retiring, i got to be in the airline business.
Amazing videos I am proud of been Delta Family
Love this!!! Judy DFW/JFK
I was informed today by Mr. Anderson, Delta CEO that a link to this video would be posted on the company website, Delta Net, and a copy would be placed in the Delta Heritage Museum. I’m honored and extremely happy the flight attendants will get the recognition they deserve.
3844 – What a wonderful on the video, and what a wonderfull job way back then. I married my pilot and brought him home with me
My aunt was a Delta “fly gal” — this is an AWESOME tribute!! Thanks so much!!
Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!
