with its biographical content stimulated my curiosity.
Who here has been flying DL longest?
For example, I am confident that I flew on DL as early as 1972, and possibly 1971.
While that makes me feel old, I am confident that some of you can beat me by a decade or two.
Anyone want to fess up?
I certainly can't beat you as I wasn't alive in 72 or 71.
My first DL flight was to LAX via SLC in May 1992. I (my family) won a trip to Disneyland back when Delta was the "official" airline for DL/WDW. I am pretty sure the long leg was on an L-1011. Don't find those these days.
Actually I think I still have all of our SkyMiles cards. I was savvy enough, even in high school, to know we all should have FF accounts. Comes in handy since the first seven numbers of our SM accounts are identical. Plus, some of those miles are still floating around as most of my family do not fly frequently. Just enough that they don't expire.
