    If you thought Delta Airlines management was half baked here is more evidence. Maybe all the evidence needed to prove the case. This week Delta posted a job opening bid at the Minneapolis- St. Paul Airport (MSP) for someone who could drive a Porsche. Why does Delta need a sports car driver? The plan is to ferry platinum and diamond members of SkyMiles (Delta?s frequent flyer program) from arrival gate to departing gate when the connection is tight. It isn?t clear why Delta thinks it cannot do this with electric carts inside the terminal. Apparently someone at Delta has their heart set on further cluttering up the tarmac with more non-essential traffic. Where is the FAA and the MSP Airport Commission when we need them?

      delta already ferries high value customers with tight connections with Porsches at ATL, the vehicle is not a sports car, it’s the Cayenne SUV. they’ve been doing it for a couple of years
