Well then he needs to share his button with janeaway for her trip to PHX and wear a sticker instead.
Buttoms have become too much of a hot commodity. And, then there is the "requirement" that comes with accepting the button. Once you accept them you go to display them!!

I guess the buttons are still being propagated throughout the system ... slowly. My wife flew PHL-ATL-GNV yesterday and was able to score 2 of the buttons on the ground in PHL. On the plane (upgraded to F) the FA hadn't yet found one and asked Mrs. Pharaoh where she got hers, and Mrs P gave her one!

By now, all of you have heard about the hostile takeover bid from US Airways. As your peers, we are very aware of the concern that this has caused among Delta employees around the world. In our meeting with Jerry yesterday, shortly after he received the news of the bid, he continued to say that his intention is for Delta to emerge from bankruptcy as an independent, stand-alone company.
As we met with fellow employees after the announcement, we were astounded by the groundswell of pride. No doubt, this renewed pride in Delta is a reflection of the tremendous progress we have made in the last year and our deep dedication to Delta's unique heritage. From new uniforms and the cleanest planes in the industry to exciting new international destinations, an incredible in-flight product, all while our customer service ratings continue to climb. But all of this has made us an attractive target to airlines that cannot make it on their own and want to leverage the success that has been created by the sole efforts of Delta people. In fact, we have already received reports of newsletters sent out by US Airways to its employees boasting of how great life will be once they take over our company.
As we go forward we can expect other carriers to want to leverage the momentum that Delta has ignited. To be sure, we do not want others to rob us of our efforts, our history, and our heritage. Delta Air Lines was built by Delta people and must remain a company run by the people of Delta. Our role must be to continue to raise the value of Delta so that we can remain in charge of our own destiny and make decisions in Delta people’s best interest. How do we do this? Every employee must be dedicated to "Keep Delta My Delta." Continue to provide unrivaled service, win all of the tie breakers with our competitors, and continue to do the little things that set us apart from every other airline - and that make us so attractive to others inside and outside of our industry.
We can and will win this battle. Every effort from every Delta employee is our best defense against aggressive, hostile action against our company. We all have a stake in this battle. This is our time to shine and ensure that we all work together as only we can to "Keep Delta My Delta."
We are having “Keep Delta My Delta” buttons, stickers and wristbands made. Please join us in proudly wearing these to show everyone, everywhere, that our only interest is to “Keep Delta My Delta.”

Was unable to get any at ATL or SAT today. The only folks I saw wearing them were two pilots ATL->DCA and some of the DCA ground crew.

Was at the LGA CRC today on my way to PDX and everybody in the CRC was wearing a button. I went up to one of the agents and asked her if they were available for pax. I told her I would love to wear one. She was very appreciative and then went into the back to get me one. She came out saying that someone was making arrangements (whatever that meant) to get one for me.
She never got back to me and I had to run out for my flight so I never got a button.
I'll try to get one while I'm here at PDX. I have not seen inflight crews wearing them, just CRC and gate agents.

Why drag these two together to create an even bigger mess in the Northeast? (Trying to bring this back on topic here....
)BTW, Joe B's quote that:
".....Layer all this atop ad hoc fleet maneuvers—earlier this year, for example, Delta abruptly shifted dozens of domestically configured Boeing 767s to international routes without first installing international business-class seats.....and you have a carrier that tries the patience of even its most loyal customers." is off the mark....
Abruptly?? Also, IIRC, not many people were actually bothered by the lack of BE on most of these routes (JFK-MAN, JFK-SNN/DUB, ATL-SNN - all of which have marginal business traffic anyway especially during the summer). THe 764s were also used on ATL-LGW and ATL-FCO but these were on supplementary flights; there were still BE-equipped aircraft on those routes anyway....

So since DL has an operational headache at JFK and US has a similar one at PHL (see link below):
