About Delta Airlines Recruitment
The company was founded in 1924 by Collett Everman Woolman and it was originally a crop dusting service. The concept of the service came about due to concerns over Bo weevils eating crops. An Agricultural scientist and experienced WWI pilot, Woolman engineered a hopper for his plane, tested, and then perfected his crop-dusting business, Huff Daland Dusters. Delta Air Service was formed in 1928 when it broke away from its parent company. Woolman continued expanding his services throughout the south into Mexico and South America. Passenger service began in parts of the southern USA in 1929. Throughout the 1930’s and 40’s, Delta continued to grow by gaining mail service contracts with the US Government and dedicating itself to transporting supplies and troops during WWII. Over the next five decades, Delta accumulated and merged with other airlines, expanding its holdings. Woolman remained active in the management of the company until his health deteriorated in his late 70’s. Delta’s board took over management and expanded its holdings further and now it is a global leader in air transportation.
