This announcement requires the cooperation and blessing of at least three different divisions of Delta Air Lines, as well as attempting to minimize any conflicts or changes in the published schedule. We are also working on how to best handle this major announcement. So far, everything seems to be falling into place.
I appreciate everyone’s patience and hope everyone understands why we cannot reveal information prematurely...

We have a meeting scheduled for tomorrow evening that will hopefully allow us to reveal the announcement as soon as late tomorrow evening.

Sherman only needed one Division to take ATL, why does Delta require three?

The three divisions are Public Relations, Safety, and Cinematography.
The plan is to make a completely new Safety video, with DL employees playing themselves in their actual jobs and FTers portraying the passengers.
The difference between this video and the ones you are used to seeing on flights is that the new one will be realistic.
Some sample scenes:
The pressure in the cabin falls and the oxygen masks come down. An FT woman puts the mask on her 3 year old and the FA rips it off of his face, screaming, "Didn't you hear me say to put on your own masks first??? Ignore my instructions one more time and you will be put on the No Fly List -- if by any miracle we survive this flight."
***
Deltalina shows me how to put on my seat belt and I invite her to dinner. She shakes her finger and says, "There is no hitting on me on this or any other Delta flight -- creep!"
***
The pilot announces that we are about to crash and that everyone should put his head between his legs. Cholula finds it complete impossible to bend even half the distance. Mrs. C immediately gets on her cell phone and buys $5 million more life insurance on him.
***
Italy98 screams in panic that there is no life vest under his seat. He is so frightened that he yells this in Italian, which nobody but Gargoyle can understand. Gargoyle unselfishly gives Italy98 his own life vest, an act which would have been even more impressive if the plane had not been over the Mojave Desert at the time.
***
ifette makes a last request -- for a toy de-icing truck that he can play with while the plane starts ripping apart. atldlff objects strongly to this, afraid that ifette will use it to melt the ice in his Woodfords.
***
USirritated announces that he wants it officially noted that his last words were, "Dovster is deranged". pbjag and Traveller correct him by saying, "the correct word is 'perverted.'"
***
Canarsie refuses to confirm nor deny either my alleged derangement or my perversion until he gets permission from three different Delta divisions.
***
As the plane is just moments away from crashing into a mountainside, all the FTers scream out that they want extra SkyMiles for compensation. SkyMilesInsider agrees to give them all a 200% bonus and immediately raises all prices of award tickets by 300%.

Some people would say that Sherman had better sense than Delta. Better old fashioned horse sense anyway. But I wouldn't say such a thing.....no, never! Why would I?

I think you forgot mersk862 asking where his big giant check was... MikeMpls would remind him that CO did it better.
