From the Atlanta Paper:

DELTA BONUSES
Excerpts from readers' letters on Delta executives' bonuses:

I am so revolted that I do not have the words to describe it.

CAROL F. GOODSON,
Carrollton

* * *
There is absolutely no justification in giving Delta executives bonuses when the company has lost $1.3 billion and cut 16,000 jobs.

HOWARD S. BROWN
Atlanta

* * *
Is there any level of financial loss that senior Delta executives feel would not warrant a financial reward?

JAMES P. HODGES JR.
Atlanta

* * *
I, for one, will look for a new airline to fly.

JIMMY HARRISON
Mableton

* * *
It would be less painful if Leo Mullin and the Delta board would hold a gun to the stockholders' heads when they steal money from us.

WILLIAM KEY
Duluth

* * *
All of this seems unbelievable when so many Delta employees such as myself are now without a job.

MARYANN CARNEY
Casselberry, Fla.

* * *
At Delta, it seems that everyone has been asked to share the pain of the economy -- except for those at the top.

MARCUS DEVEREAUX
Alpharetta

* * *
If I were a Delta employee, I would organize a strike.

CLAUDIA
GAMLIEN-CASTRO
Cumming

* * *
I have but one word of warning to these gentlemen who are progressing down this slippery slope: Eastern.

STEVE CARLSON
Duluth

* * *
These guys are weasels.
