A capital idea

Go to www.delta.com/change .... this is Delta's page dedicated to all the changes that they are going to make now that they've symbolized their return to the black by donning an all-red logo. There is a section of the site where the common man (people like you) can submit ideas for Delta Airlines, or share tips for your fellow travelers (like "get your children under control, or stop having them.")

Anyway, I didn't want to crash their server with tips for my "fellow passengers".... and besides, I'm a big picture guy anyway. So I made a suggestion directly to Delta Airlines. Here it is:


We've all seen "Airplane" and every red-blooded American man out there knows that he can land a jumbo jet if only the opportunity would present itself. Why not allow Delta to present this opportunity? On each trans-continental flight, one lucky passenger would be chosen at random to land the airplane under the watchful eye of your grandfatherly captain, or failing that, Otto Pilot. It would add quite a bit of intrigue to the phrase "Ladies and Gentleman, we've been cleared by the tower to land."
