Your Best Landing Site for Retirement

The mission of DRC (formerly DALRC) is to focus on identifying, prioritizing, educating and communicating issues and developments that may impact the members of the community of retirees. It is recognized as the primary liaison group between the Community of Delta Retirees and Delta Air Lines. Our organization has a grass roots foundation that is dedicated to the unique needs of our retiree community. Never forgetting our roots, we also work to foster a positive relationship with Delta Air Lines.

Member Testimonials

“My Delta Career started in 1974 and ended with retirement in 2006. Over thirty years working for such a great company is a feeling that is hard to explain. At times I wish I never retired. but since doing so I have been a member of DRC. It’s my link to stay informed of what’s going on now and what might be coming in the future. From the emails and newsletters, we receive, to the letters we send our elected government officials trying to make sense out of bad laws. The website is truly amazing and the information provided helps retirees plan ahead. I rely on the DRC every day to keep me informed on the past, present, and future of our great company.”

Member Testimonials

“When I retired from Delta with 35 years of service, I was scared about the future, for myself as well as my extended family. Now almost, 12 years later, I find myself back to being skeptical of the future. My spouse will turn 65 which is also the date of my separation from my 2nd career job. While initially hesitant to join DRC, I am so glad I did. With the guidance of DRC, I have been able to stay current and also plan for the future of being totally retired. DRC is a wonderful source of data and information for retirees. Thank you, DRC, for being there when I needed you the most.”

Member Testimonials

“Delta’s reputation was, and still is, stellar, and its people make it so. We were a “family” and that concept played out many times while I worked there. Our employees were taken care of, and we took care of our own. I feel the same way about DRC. We are still a family and we are still taking care of our own. When DRC first started, there was no hesitation on my part whether I would be a part of this organization. Delta folks taking care of Delta folks….…. that works for me! I have never had any regrets and I am proud to be a part of DRC.”

Member Testimonials

“Perhaps the single most fortune of my life, apart of course from “Family, God and Country”, is having been hired by Delta Air Lines in 1966. I have been a member of DRC since its inception and it makes me feel like I am still, in some way, part of the “Delta Family”. It is good to know that someone has your back. I am proud of the fact that I perhaps was part of the roots of what made Delta Air Lines what it is today. May Delta continue to flourish and may DRC continue to be a link to solidarity with arguably the finest group of people in the industry.”

Member Testimonials

“My 31 years as a Delta Air Lines employee showed me the meaning of success. From the top down, all of the people associated with Delta were, and continue to be, top notch, ethical, caring and responsible individuals who shaped the identity of the airline. This created a culture that has never been duplicated in the airline industry but it has always been envied. DRC by definition, and by its membership, continues with that tradition. I was proud to be a Delta Air Lines employee and am equally proud to be a DRC member. The spirit of Delta is continued by DRC.”
