Delta Captains Uniform removed from Ebay
Ebay recently pulled a listing that a Delta Air Lines Captain had placed
on the auction site. Up for sale? Captain Wendall Lewis's Captain's
uniform. After Lewis saw his monthly pension of $6500 slashed by 73%, he
decided to make a statement.
And here was his statement:
AUTHENTIC Delta Air Lines Captain Pilot Uniform This uniform was
worn by a dedicated Delta Pilot for many years. Now retired and robbed
of part, or all, of promised pension, uniform is now offered for sale to
supplement income. Suit is worn and empty but filled with memories and
honor. Suit has been across many miles and many experiences. Suit was
once filled with pride and service getting thousands of passengers to
their destination safely. Suit has been through rain, snow, ice, and
wind without a single tear or scratch. Suit once controlled
multi-million dollar assets, flown throughout the world, with billions
of dollars of liability to the company. Suit has never cost company one
(1) cent in accident or injury.
Although the suit is worn and has been discarded by the company, it
can be yours. Suit is clean but used. Coat may be soiled from hydraulic
fluid or grease as plane was inspected. Shirt may be soiled from mad
dashes through the airport in a rush to the next plane in an effort to
get back on schedule. Tie may have stains from fast food meals that were
hurriedly eaten while at the controls.
Tie comes with your choice of pins, Air Line Pilots Association, Air
Force, or Airplane. Pants may show signs of wear from may hours spent
strapped into a seat, hip shows some signs of wear from firearm used to
protect you and your passengers from harm. Shoes are shiny but worn.
Suit comes with choice of Old Delta or New Delta emblems. Many prefer
the Old Delta.
Suit is thought by many to have APHRODISIAC qualities, although this
cannot be confirmed or denied.
BEWARE putting on this suit can have adverse effects on your life.
It can cause you to miss your children's birth. It can cause you to miss
holiday reunions, family times, and weekends. You may miss your
Daughter's prom and your Son's graduation. Your family may think
Christmas is not always on December 25th. Your wife will have to learn
to be a single parent when you are gone for days. The suit can cause you
to miss entire nights of sleep or get up at 3 AM to meet your next
schedule. Your neighbors may be jealous of you and think you do not
deserve to wear the uniform or be compensated for your work. Originally
suit required a four year college degree and an internship of 5-10 years
in the military, and another 10-15 years for the fourth stripe. Suit
comes with a promise of a pension if you provide years of dedication and
service. THE PROMISE MAY BE AS EMPTY AS THE SUIT. Now it can be had for
the highest bid. Good Luck bidding.
