The real gift is helping to save lives.

The can of lemonade along with some other pink item are sold each year. (Bag strap, etc)

Has anyone seen pink uniforms (or parts of DL uniforms) in the wild yet this year?

Saw a full pink sheath dress this evening for an off-duty FA catching a flight at DTW. It was gorgeous.

Gate agent also had a pink Delta logo accented tie and pocket hankerchief.

In addition, there was a bicycle in the DTW main skyclub, only saw a table with pink balloons in the RDU skyclub.

A bicycle? You mean someone was riding around the lounge trying to collect donations and sell pink stuff? I'm shocked that the lounge even had enough room for a unicycle to get through the crowds.

BTW, was the bicycle pink?

Also, BTW, has anyone spotted the traditional pink livery DL aircraft?

Bartender in phx hadn’t received the supplies for her drinks yet, but she improvised and made a couple of lovely looking pink libations. One with vodka and another with bubbly. She is a delight and thoughtful.

I still have a luggage tag from several years ago. I was also able to get my hands on a pink tie and pocket square.

Yes a bicycle. I didn't look too hard at it as I was in a rush, but it was about kid sized, leaning against one of the columns near the top of the escalators and roped off. I don't recall if the bike itself was pink, but there was definitely something pink about it - I think it had pink christmas lights kind of strung around it. I admit I was a bit puzzled about it - nothing else in the lounge was really pink and I don't recall seeing any other tables/areas/signage to solicit donations.

That sounds cute with the pink lights, but I'm afraid I'm missing the connection between bicycles and breast cancer.

Pictures anyone?

I flew one back from Madrid last week but didn’t snap a pic. I feel dumb now. In my defense I was in a hurry to board as I needed bin space

They both start with the letter B. Otherwise... confused as well.
