They were indeed..founded as a Crop Dusting Company...I did a case study on them in class this past semester...and by the way they're people on a.net talking some weird crap about DL. :lol: talking like...Delta's "stepchild"-ComAir..Delta had 4 marriages..children"..."prositute"- US Airways..abortions like Delta cargo,shuttle,song,etc.

Happy Birthday to them! and they do sell 1-3 posters of their 80th Birthday on deltashop.com..which i do intend on buying in the near future.

Congratulations for Delta turning 80.

We're looking forward to the first crossing of the Pacific for Delta with the Los Angeles-Sydney route starting on 1st July. This will increase the carriers on the route from two to four over less than 8 months. This has also brought prices down from roughly USD $1700 return down to USD $500. It's expected that prices could drop to anywhere near USD $180 one way. That's a bargain for the 15 hour flight.
