I hope they will inform their shareholders about how much new business they picked up from all the liberal buyers, despite the loss of the state tax exemption. Shareholders might also be interested in Delta’s plan for a new corporate communications team. HA HA!

Is that s’posed to make us look bad?

You idiots really are fools because it makes YOU look all the dummer and shallow.

You took a political stand because you thought it wouldn’t harm you.

Suck it up buttercup and if I were on your board of directors I’d be after your jobs.

They probably looked at the 13 tickets and thought they weren’t going to lose anything by dissing the NRA. LOL

Probably thought it was a cheap way to gain social justice points, until it bit them on the azz.

Symbolism/virtue signaling by the CEO of Delta that has cost Delta big bucks/millions and millions now and in the future.

Check my tagline.

Sweet job Georgia.....Delta’s virtue signaling cost the company 40 million dollars in tax credits. That’s how you teach these people not to go against the second:)

So how much did they PAY the NRA to allow them to advertise the affiliation?

So Delta felt the need to cutoff a discount used 13 times, which cost them a 50 million dollar tax break from the state of GA.

I am entertained.

So why did they make a big deal that they were cancelling the discount? It did not help them now did it.

This is indeed the question. It is the stupid practice of "virtue signalling" with the thought that the media tells them that everyone agrees with the liberal activist within the organization that prompts the move.

Screw them, screw REI etc etc.

The Left will demand repayment, or they’ll put Delta out of business.

Everyone add a reminder for next year this date on your smartphone or tablet. And call, email, fax, or Tweet Delta and United and tell them you still are not flying their rickety ass airlines.

by Dick’s Sporting Goods.
I will bet that they will never say.
