To be named Delta as the coronavirus variant wreaks havoc globally is not an easy thing, and the airline resonates with that. In a show of solidarity, it has reached out to a little girl who shares similar woes.
Kellie Gerardi, a Florida-based scientist for Virgin Galactic and mother to a girl named Delta V., shared her frustrations in a tweet after catching wind of a new variant termed ‘Delta Plus’.
Petition not to call it “Delta Plus” and instead move on to the next letter in this cursed variant alphabet 😩

Sincerely, the mother of a very sweet little Delta who once thought the airline would be the most annoying namesake joke
She followed up the post with a shoutout to the airlines’ Twitter account, saying, “We should form an alliance on this matter.”
And an alliance they did form, with Delta Airlines sending little Delta a care package that included a handwritten note, an airline-themed backpack, Biscoff cookies, and a model plane. According to The Points Guy, the note declared that Delta was “the name for people who were meant to fly.”
Last week I tweeted about how it was a particularly challenging time for my daughter to be named Delta.

Today she got the most amazing care package from @Delta & is over the moon about such a cool collection of things celebrating “her” name! Thank you Delta!😭❤️#DeltaProud pic.twitter.com/gEx5P3VrsO
A sweet sentiment, and some encouragement to those whose names have been unfortunately somewhat diminished as the weary pandemic rages on.
And now I’ll pass it to my correspondent Delta, reporting live from the Spaceport lounge…! pic.twitter.com/DxXea2l6x5
