Delta Emerges From Bankruptcy – Still Can’t Read Maps Good

Good news for the Delta fans fan out there: Delta is out of bankruptcy. Hooray. "We're free at last," said Delta Chief Executive Gerald Grinstein. "I feel elated." Well, that’s good for him; the folks who work for him though seemed to have skipped class the day they went over geography. More after the jump.



I was looking to head down to the Carolinas at the end of August, so I turned to my trusty travel planner to get some prices. As I expected, ridiculous prices out of Cincinnati to Myrtle Beach at $360.




Well, I thought, I am willing to drive a bit further to get that better price. Columbus (Go Bucks), Indy, Louisville, and Lexington all seemed like good ideas. Ah ha! $200 out of Lexington seems like a good deal. One connection isn’t too bad, but wait… I connect in Cincinnati? The place I want to go from?



Then it hit me. In an effort to boost earnings, Delta must have sold all of their globes, maps, and compasses in a garage sale. You see, Cincinnati is further away from Myrtle. (Shocking.) I imagine some of you folks who went to them fancy pants schools where they have papers with letters all grouped together called books would know that, but then again…

As to alleviate this problem in the future, I have decided to send Delta a few maps, plus this globe I got in 2nd grade. (Delta - Sorry, I know it still has the USSR on it, but its old, and it’s better than nothing. I doubt you would have even noticed.) I have included multiple maps in case someone eats one.
