Episode notes

Delta has created a feature length documentary about navigating the pandemic.
Delta was a company that went through 911 and had been through other difficult times before the pandemic hit.
Delta sent out a prepandemic documentary to its employees to help them prepare for the pandemic.
The pandemic hit two weeks after the documentary was filmed, and Delta put it on ice because there were new chapters to write.
Delta has now created a documentary about the pandemic called "The Steepest Climb.".
The main takeaway from the conversation is that Delta has created a documentary about navigating the pandemic. The documentary is about Delta's experience during the pandemic and the challenges the company faced.

With deserted airports, vaccine and mask mandates, and pandemic-prompted staff departures behind it, Delta Air Lines is once again soaring, recently sharing $563 million in profits with its employees. CEO Ed Bastian, in his third appearance on Rapid Response, talks about capitalizing on the big decisions made amid Covid darkness — from airport renovations to investing in free Wifi — and the opportunities and challenges of adding 25,000 new employees over the past year. Sharing insights on managing tumultuous shifts, as well as his evolving perspective on topics from wellness to business travel, Ed reveals the secrets to first class leadership, including the importance of a good night’s sleep.
