A message from Delta Flight 1694

Apparently they enjoyed us on our final flight home. We are so proud of our CJS family!! This message was sent from the Delta Flight 1694 staff to CCM about us!

Airline passengers are often times willing to contact airline managementto let them know about service issues. I suppose it’s not often when anairline (or in this case, airline staff) might contact passengers to thankthem for their extraordinary behavior.
I was a member of the Delta Air Lines inflight crew who had the distincthonor of bringing your Cincinnati Junior Strings group home to CVG on thelast segment of their journey from Australia this past Wednesday, August6th. My entire crew was very impressed with the decorum of your studentmusicians and their excellent manners. We don’t often see such outstandingyoung folks like this; especially in such a large group. It was truly anhonor for us and a testament to the quality that your organization, theteachers and volunteers model for these students.
On behalf of my crew, I want to thank you and your organization for makingour day so enjoyable. Thank you also for the CDs that were left with us toenjoy and to remember you by. And thank you for helping these extraordinaryyoung adults make our world “sound” so wonderful. We certainly look forwardto welcoming you again soon!
With best wishes for your continued success,
