The "Forgotten" 3500!
The 3500 is an IRS filed "not for profit" with an ongoing effort led by Rob Moser to restore non-qualified and medical benefits formerly provided by Delta to its retired pilots prior to bakruptcy. Since we are a representative group of many, donations to The 3500 are tax decuctible in the same way that gifts to your local little league are. Your contribution receipt of cancelled check is your tax record.

Addendum: Shortly after going to work full time as a ground employee for Delta, I helped start a commuter airline called Southeastern Commuter Airlines, SCA, flying a Britain Norman Islander, and a Dehavilland Dove on my days off. The 2 other co-founders got some venture capital and started CCAir, in Charlotte, as a captive commuter for USAir. The commuter is now called Piedmont Airlines and still operates as a regional for USAir.
Because of my marketing background, I was frequently called upon as a public speaker by senior management,after I
became a pilot,to speak about Delta Air Lines,and answer questions, many of which were marketing related. I represented Delta as a Public Relations Ambassador.
Many of these speaking engagements took place after the 767 purchase by the employees became world-wide knowledge.
