CASSIE N LUNSFORD

In March of 2020 I was thrilled to accept the offer of OSM Above Wing in Nashville. Nashville was a city I had started my Delta career in 2012, a city I brought 3 children into the world, and a city I had myself “grown up” in my Delta Career. The city that had just celebrated Station of the Year. I started my position March 15, 2020 and within the first two days the effects of the Covid-19 Pandemic swept our country and brought our company to an unimaginable halt. Our operation in Nashville went from 42 flights a day to just 4 flights a day.

By October 2020, Business came back quickly as Nashville was a destination city. Bids and flight schedules were changing regularly and rapidly and we were often bidding twice a month. Protocols and seat blocks were updating and it was my job to learn, and implement these changes immediately. Flexibility and adaptability were ingrained in our team as a means of survival. As the operation recovered, hiring and onboarding became a priority. I swiftly had to develop processes for onboarding and training while running an operation with a limited amount of trained and able staff. This presented many difficult challenges, but I persevered and solved each problem as it came to light above wing, below wing, cargo, or wherever leadership was needed.

My passion in life is a love for people. Being detail oriented, hard working, creative, and a problem solver; I am always looking for more efficient ways to execute job functions. Balancing the operation and the needs of employees as the main focus of my job is a dream. I relish in having the opportunity to impact my station and the lives of the thousands of customers that pass through every day. Most recently developing my eye for the premium details and connecting with the service of our highest valued customers. Taking these skills and passions to the next level is exciting. I have a total of over 10 years Airport Customer Service experience with Delta Air lines dating back to April 2012 . I excelled in the CSA and Red Coat role, and have learned the programs and tools needed for an OSM both in an A Station including the Sky Club as well as a HUB environment. Most recently adapting and developing those skills while leading leaders in Seattle.

I have always had a passion for the Delta Brand, and have a true love for leading people.

Taking the skills I have learned to motivate my team and my passion for Delta's vision, I will be an excellent fit for leading leaders as the Department Manager in Seattle.

Thank You,
