<\/a><\/p>\n After reaching the gate in Atlanta, Paul jumped up and quickly exited the plane. I was in 2D and took my time gathering my items as I wanted to try and get a picture of the forward cabin with fewer people. After a couple moments I\u00a0heard Paul\u00a0in the jetway saying\u00a0“Jimmy, Jimmy – get\u00a0out here you got to see this.” Paul had sleep most of the flight and I thought he was mostly lucid, but I was wondering what on earth we wanted me to see and more importantly why? I gathered my things and Paul was standing at the outdoor access door with a Delta representative. The gentlemen\u00a0from Delta looked at\u00a0me and said “Are you James Gottfredson?”<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/a>I really couldn’t believe this<\/a>Never ever thought I would see the Delta Porsche<\/p>\n At the bottom of the stairs was a Delta Porsche, waiting for us. The representative’s name was\u00a0Danny and we asked if we had checked baggage, which we did. He said that he would just be just a moment in order to have our bags pulled\u00a0from the plane. I had read\u00a0about the Delta Porsche ground service that Delta offered for elites, so in a way I understood what was happening. What I couldn’t understand was why we were being offered the service, as I believed it was only for tight or close to missed connections.<\/p>\n When\u00a0Danny came back I politely told him I believed he had the wrong gentlemen. Danny said; “Your James Gottfredson correct?” I said, “Yes, but this is our termination point and we\u00a0don’t have a connection here.” Very kindly Danny responded “Mr. Gottfredson, you’ve had a long day due to our delay on this flight. As a gesture of good will Delta would like to give you a personal ride to your ground transportation. We are doing this as a thank you for your repeat business and we hope this service makes our delay and your day a little better.” I was dumfounded, but managed a \u201cwow” and “thank you very much” back. He was speaking with the other Delta staff briefly and\u00a0Paul and I stood there\u00a0speechless at\u00a0the Delta Porsche on the tarmac.<\/p>\n <\/a>Porsche front<\/p>\n <\/a>Nice nose<\/p>\n I turned to Paul who had been listening to the conversation. He was beaming and said “Jimmy, we’re rock stars!” I had to laugh at his comment. A few minutes later Danny, Paul and I were driving across the tarmac to Paul and I’s\u00a0ground transportation. Before we left I asked Danny if we could take a couple pictures of the car because my friends at work wouldn’t have believed us. He graciously allowed me to capture the few pictures of the Delta Porsche in this post.<\/p>\n <\/a>Another picture<\/p>\n <\/a>Other side<\/p>\n During our drive\u00a0Paul and I peppered Danny with questions about his job and the different people he picked up during the day. It mostly included elites such as ourselves with either\u00a0tight connections or a special ride to ground transportation after some serious flight delay. Once in while it could also be a VIP, famous or not, that Delta wanted to specialize service for. He was professional and a good kid. Paul and I enjoyed our short time with him and he dropped us off at our prearranged ground transportation (outside of the baggage claim area).<\/p>\n <\/a>Danny at the wheel<\/p>\nIntroduction:\u00a0Sales Meeting With HQ<\/a>

I was a little disorientated because I couldn’t figure out why the representative would be interested\u00a0in speaking with me. I looked at him and said “yes” and he motioned to follow him down the outdoor access door. We followed him.<\/h4>\n
