For Eric Adu, a flight attendant based at JFK Airport, working with Delta Air Lines has been the fulfillment of a lifelong dream. Adu's journey with Delta began 16 years ago and is rooted in an early fascination that started in his hometown of Accra, Ghana.
The interest was sparked when his sister brought home a flyer from an event in Accra that stated, "Delta is my airline." Although unfamiliar with the company at the time, Adu felt an immediate connection to Delta. He cherished the flyer, keeping it close as he moved through school.
"My classmates would ask me what it was about and why I kept it so dear," Adu remembered. "I didn’t have an answer, but I told them I loved the name and the logo."
