Message from MLT
Vacations
Delta Air Lines and MLT
Vacations have begun to implement strategic
improvements in the way we work together that
will result in an enhanced level of service and
support for you, our most important customers.
As part of this effort, there will be senior
level organizational changes at MLT.
I am pleased to announce that John Caldwell,
who most recently served as Managing Director
National Account Sales and Specialty Sales at
Delta, has been named to the position of
President of MLT Vacations, combining the
President and CEO roles into one. Larry Chestler,
current CEO, and Ken Pomerantz, current
President, will be leaving MLT Vacations. Larry
and Ken have provided outstanding leadership and
we wish to thank them for their contributions to
MLT Vacations' success.
John has served for many years in leadership
roles within the sales and marketing
organizations first at Northwest and then at
Delta. Throughout his career he has had numerous
opportunities to collaborate with the marketing
and sales teams at MLT to develop and implement
successful programs for our travel agent
customers in support of our mutual business
goals. John will report directly to me, and he
is looking forward to building strong
relationships with the travel agency community
in his new role.
Under John's leadership, there will be a
thorough evaluation of the organization and
business practices in order to identify
opportunities to further expand and enhance the
successful MLT business model, including
identifying opportunities to deliver an even
higher level of service and support to you and
your clients.
MLT Vacations remains committed to the travel
agent distribution channel and we are focused on
providing you with exceptional customer service,
throughout this leadership transition and into
the future. There are no changes planned in the
way we do business with you, and every effort
will be made to make this a seamless transition.
Thank you for your continued business and
support. We look forward to sharing exciting
updates with you regarding additional business
enhancements in the very near future!
Regards,
Steve Sear
Senior Vice President, Global Sales
Delta Air Lines

What this means for Travel Agent Partners: Until
now, Travel Agents had to book all Sun Country Vacation packages at
Suncountryvacations.com. Agents would then have to write down all sales
made, and email or fax them into Sun Country. Those days are long gone!
Starting soon Agents will login to VAX
http://www.vaxvacationaccess.com/ for a fully automated booking
system.
