AMTs mark their day with burgers and bravos
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
May 24, 2007
Grills and spatulas replaced drills and engine parts Thursday as Technical Operations employees feasted during the annual observance of Aviation Maintenance Technician’s Day. Tony Charaf, s.v.p.-TechOps, and other TechOps leaders donned their aprons and each line station had special celebrations with their leadership teams flipping burgers and serving food on all three shifts.
"It's simple and it's certainly not as much as we’d like to do, but we felt it was important to stop, celebrate this national acknowledgement of the work you do every day, and say thanks to each and every TechOps employee," Tony said.
The observance of AMT Day commemorates the birthday of Charles Taylor, who built the engine for Orville and Wilbur Wright's first flight at Kitty Hawk in 1903. He is honored in the industry as the first AMT.
"It's no secret that Delta TechOps has come a long way during the last couple of years, and it would be a gross understatement to say that we’ve had some challenging times," Tony said. “The success we’re all experiencing today is a direct result of your sacrifices as well as your dedication and commitment to this airline and to our customers. The quality and professionalism of the TechOps people are second to none."
