Delta Airlines Names Tom Brady, Who Has No Prior Experience In The Airline Industry, As An Adviser And Spokesperson

Delta has announced they have struck an agreement with Tom Brady, making him a new long-term strategic adviser for their company. The former seven-time Super Bowl Champion continues to add to his impressive resume as he prepares to take the job as FOX Sports top football color commentator – starting with the 2024 season.

Brady, widely considered the greatest quarterback in NFL history, is the all-time leader in passing completions, yards, and touchdowns. He has won more Super Bowls (7) and Super Bow;l MVP Awards (5) thatn anyone ever. And since stepping away from the game in January with a boatload of accolades, he’s now colllecting pocketfuls of cash on multiple business deals.

That now includes Delta, whose CEO says that Tom Brady will mean a lot in terms of the message the airline is trying to convey.

“Delta’s people are driven by their commitment to world-class performance, excellence and a desire to achieve best-in-class results,” said Ed Bastain, Chief Executive Officer of Delta Air Lines, in a statement to coincide with the announcement. “Bringing a leader like Tom onto the Delta team furthers our mission to connect the world while accelerating our drive to continuously improve for our colleagues, customers and communities.”

Delta says Brady will assist them in developing/advising on strategic training and “teamwork tools” for their more than 90,000 workers. He’s also going to be the new merketing face of Delta. So get ready for those commercials.

For his part, Tom Brady expressed his gratitude and admiration for the passenger airline – which is considered one of American aeronautics’ “big five”, which also includes American, United, Southwest, and SkyWest.

“I am grateful to be joining the Delta family, a company I have loved and respected for years,” Brady said. “Growing up with a mother as a flight attendant, I have always admired the people that make seamless air transportation possible. Throughout my career, my teammates and I flew Delta countless times, spending hours traveling for some of the most important games of our lives, even celebrating Super Bowl wins on the plane.”
