Delta Employees Make Video Of Airport Flash Mobs (VIDEO)

We never tire of airline employees filming themselves doing zany things, so when we saw this new video floating around the Twitterverse, we had to flag it.

The scene starts out inconspicuous enough. A well-manicured group of Delta employees performs a song written by one on their own on a terminal stage -- giving the old lounge lizards a run for their money. But, wait..."Why has the music suddenly stopped?" asks a bewildered-looking group of Delta employees who were conveniently all lurking nearby.

Cue Chris Brown. Yes, to the sounds of "Yeah 3x" a mob of employees suddenly appears and starts to break it down, right in the middle of Atlanta's airport. But the slick dance moves don't stop there. The ATL crew is joined on screen by their peeps in NYC -- with equally tight choreography. Eventually Detroit and TOC -- that's Delta's technical operations center -- get in on the act. Of course, they get double points for dancing in a hangar in front of a huge airplane like in a real music video.

Everyone comes together on screen for the big ending, cheer, and fin.

To see more videos of those goofy airline workers, check out the dancing Finnair flight attendants getting their Bollywood on, and the Cebu Pacific flight attendants doing a safety dance to "All I Want For Christmas Is You." Also getting into the spirit are the runway workers of American Airlines who did a line dance on the O'Hare runway.

And, who can forget the best safety video of all time -- the rapping Southwest flight attendant.

CORRECTION: A previous version of this article stated that TOC stood for Toccoa airport in Georgia.

Atlanta is the only one that's a flash mob.

The Atlanta group is the only group dancing in public. That's probably because Delta pretty much owns that airport. The others are either at distant empty gates or in the frequent flyer lounges. I'd rather have more pillows and free baggage than stupid, trendy flash mobs.

No wonder their service sucks, they worry about flash mobs. ;)

I always see bad comments concerning Delta and their people but as a regular flyer I have never had one bad time on a flight or with any of the flight attendents. In fact, ever since 9/11 I always bring a gift bag of home baked brownies for the ladies to snack on during the flight. On the flight coming home from a 10 day vacation in Germany, one of the ladies remembered me and thanked me again for the brownies. People need to remember that there are usually 5 or 6 attendents taking care of over 100 people on board. Sometimes things are out of their hands and they can't do what is asked of them. Give them a little slack and always thank them for their service. I travel to a airport 50 miles away from my home just to be able to fly on Delta. And I love their home base in Atlanta, Ga. Fly high ladies...here's one that will keep flying with you!!

Gee, if they could only act this enthusiastic and happy when they are trying to do their jobs on the plane. Instead, they act snarly and appear unhappy.

Really? Too bad they did not jump like that for me when I called and told them I was pregnant and I needed an isle seat because I use the restroom often. Nor did they jump like that when I checked in and found out that I was not given an isle seat. I was told to check at the gate for an isle seat. Nada. Luckily the passengers sitting in my row offered to change seats with me so I could get the bathroom easily. Nice dance Delta, but this travel writer and mother is not impressed.

You should have booked an isle seat when you purchased your ticket. If you forgot to and all of them were filled, what were the folks going to do to accommodate you? How are you any different that the six foot plus man who wanted an isle seat? Glad that you were/are pregnant, but so have many ladies out there (including me) who have flown in a less than desirable seat. Put on your big girl pants and get over it.

a Delta frequent flier.

Looks like you did not read my first sentence jordun. I did call and request an isle seat darling. I don't need to wear big girl pants anymore because I'm no longer pregnant. But feel free to wear yours. I prefer skinny jeans.
