Delta's CE explains why he skipped a meeting with president Trump

In the wake of last week’s meeting between US airline executives and president Trump, one of the more interesting details that emerged was that the president reportedly was incensed that Delta CE Ed Bastian didn’t show up. Now Bastian has offered an explanation to Delta employees: he wouldn't move his vacation. According to NBC News, Trump repeatedly asked why Bastian was skipping the meeting after years of leading the Big Three’s campaign on the Gulf carriers. Delta, for its part, was only willing to say that Ed Bastian was on pre-scheduled travel. Now Bastian has given Delta employees a fuller explanation. "My family makes a lot of sacrifices with Delta. I ask them to do a lot of things. I wasn’t about ready to ask them to cancel a long-scheduled vacation." <br/>
