Even as a Delta frequent flyer...maybe former...this makes my day. Good for Georgia.

That will send a clear message. YOU WILL TOW OUR LINE... or we will use the power of the state to punish you.

GA has a huge film industry. Get rid of those subsidies too.

This won’t drive a single job out of Georgia. At least not from Delta. The are Atlanta-based and very seriously doubt they would move. Bet they have lots of other tax breaks in the state at different levels. Plus over 33K employees.

Maybe the legislature could at least say those have to promote values that are beneficial to the state and it and all US citizens.

Delta’s statement in part “Delta’s decision reflects the airlines neutral status.....”
To: tkocur
If Delta wants to stick their political necks out, they get what they deserve.

Businesses have every legal right to make their own decisions, but the Republican majority in our state legislature also has every right to govern guided by our principles, Lt. Gov. Casey Cagle, who very publicly threatened to pull the airline tax break earlier this week, said in a statement.Actions have consequences.
It will be interesting to see Delta's reaction.

Maybe so, but I would be concerned about companies like Amazon that may no longer consider coming to the state of Georgia. Lots of potential jobs that may not pan out. This happened not too long ago in North Carolina.

Delta caving to fake, lefty Mob Rule paid by Soros and his ilk is a big mistake! Live and learn Delta!
My family will not book with Delta going forward.
Do they not realize that we hold the $$$$ purse strings - not the fake protesters weaned on government handouts. LOL
To: tkocur
Delta making big profits, why give them a fuel tax break in the first place?

Governor Deal has told Georgians we should sell our souls for a mess of Amazon jobs. Bow to Bezos instead of Jesus! NO THANKS.
To: tkocur
Maybe they can send the money to the NRA!

Im not sure what your point is. While towing the line would be a helpful thing to do, I think toeing the line is what youre referring to. Even so I dont think thats what the government is Georgia is getting at. After all, what line is being toed? I interpret them as being like me, namely sick of the petty economic warfare engaged by the left and buckled to by businesses. The message that I get from this is that businesses should stay out of politics or virtue signal on their own dime
