Delta Welcomes 100 More Employees into Chairman's Club

Delta Air Lines has welcomed 100 more employees into the ranks of its Chairman's Club, the airline's most prestigious honor, recognizing those whom "embody Delta values and who distinguish themselves with their exceptional service to customers and the community".

More than 10,700 nominations were received during the nomination process this year. Each year only 100 employees are selected from the 80,000 Delta employees worldwide.

The honorees were named following a review and selection process by business-unit committee made up of former Chairman's Club honorees, frontline and management employees.

This year's honorees represent 27 cities in six countries, and on average, have 22 years of service at Delta. The most experienced honoree has worked at Delta for 49 years.

"This year is well on its way to becoming another exceptional year for Delta thanks to the hard work and dedication of our people," said Delta Chief Executive Officer Richard Anderson. "Our Chairman's Club honorees exemplify the Delta Difference, embodying the Rules of the Road and living out Delta's values-based culture. We are grateful for the example they provide all of us on how to care for each other and our customers."
