When unavoidable delays happen and crews are rescheduled, she is empathetic to their needs. “If it takes me walking across the room to get meals for a crew at JFK who hasn’t eaten, I will. It shows I cared and I listened. The easiest thing to do is to listen with your heart.”
A love for Delta and travel is also in her genes. Kim’s mother has worked at Delta for 48 years, and Kim has used her Delta flight benefits to give her son the world. “I was a single mom until he was 12, so my goal was to take him to every place he could think of. I wanted to provide him those memories, and I hope he will pass that down, too.”
