I am traveling to Charleston, South Carolina on June 25th and am departing from the Nashville airport. Originally, I looked at Southwest for the cheapest flight and found a flight that was $293.

C.E. Woolman, the first leader of Delta Air Lines, believed that the company should take care of its employees so that, in return they would take care of customers. At the root of this care included effectively communicating with his teams and empowering them to make the right decisions.

Throughout its history, Delta has deliberately engaged its employees and has modeled a human resource management (HRM) system, which is the “term increasingly used to refer to the philosophy, policies, procedures, and practices related to the management of an organization’s employees” (Sims, 2002, p. 2). The HRM system at Delta has impacted its organizational structure, corporate communications, and shared decision making.

Delta information for moving day, May 2017. The weekend over Mother’s Day of 2017 is going to a big mess for passengers and crew members unaware of the big move (Delta Airlines, 2017). The large-scale switch is going to create delays and possibly make passengers miss flights.
