Folks we are as of today only days away from end of the days of Richard Anderson telling us on each flight he is CEO of Delta Air Lines and always has our back (cue reach for air sickness bag). Now we get a few years of Mr. Ed and President Glen “Ham Sandwich“. Gosh, and we have been starving for frequent flyer perks for years now (where is my Grey Poupon I ask you). But that is what is on the way for May and beyond, let’s review April and see if there was anything you missed:
