Apparently if you go around the Operations Control Center employees have put Tom Brady as their desktop backgrounds and made stickers that say "Tom can fix this." I keep seeing the word hubris and I think that's the perfect descriptor of Delta in 2024.
I love this. I feel for everyone in the OCC (and related areas) right now. I'd put that on my desk if I could. (Look for me set up with that at one of the work corrals in the Sky Club after being stranded for a few days).
