Concepcion said they began at 7:30am and ended at 12pm, after which the staff was treated to lunch.<\/p>\n

Steven Crowdey, Delta\u2019s director for Micronesia, Philippines, and Australia, who was also at the cleanup, said that Delta staff from Japan and the Philippines joined Delta\u2019s Saipan employees for the cleanup.<\/p>\n

Delta\u2019s Japan and Philippines staff included sales and information technology teams.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe don\u2019t have that many people here, so it is nice that we have staff flying in from overseas to help the local staff and do what they should be doing in the local community,\u201d Crowdey said.<\/p>\n

He said it was a first for them to do the cleanup and they will figure out what to do next.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Delta team has been a positive contributor to the communities where we live, work, and operate. We are a values-based company and strongly focused on maintaining a sustainable business model for our employees, our customers and our shareowners,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
