Oh please. This girl had a personnel file a mile long. The photo (taken in a Delta uniform on a Delta plane) was the final straw. Believe me, it's VERY hard to get fired from Delta.

To be honest I don't exactly know. I am pretty good friends with some Field Service Managers here in Atlanta and they told me this girl has had many "issues" during her Delta employment. Like I said, it takes a lot to get fired from the company, and if you do, you can be sure Delta will have everything documented and will have also given you a series of verbal and written warnings. Of course there are a few things that will get you fired on the spot, such as drugs and alcohol on the job, and stealing.
ps - it's amazing this girls 15 minutes of fame have made it all the way to Australia!

Yes, I know! Of course last I check I don't have any pictures of me in a Delta uniform, yanking up my skirt and in seductive pose on a empty airplane!

Well soon "y'all" might be. Delta has been smug for so so long. Hope Delta enjoys the merger with Northwest just to survive.
