Delta reverses course, calling Georgia’s voting law ‘unacceptable.’
NY Times ^ | March 31, 2021 | NYT

Posted on 03/31/2021 7:41:01 AM PDT by Stravinsky

The chief executive of Delta, Ed Bastian, sent a letter on Wednesday to employees expressing regret for the company’s muted opposition to a restrictive voting law passed last week by the Georgia legislature.

“I need to make it crystal clear that the final bill is unacceptable and does not match Delta’s values,” he wrote in an internal memo that was reviewed by The New York Times.

...

Mr. Bastian went further, saying that the entire premise of the new law — and dozens of similar bills being advanced in other states around the country — was based on false pretenses.

“The entire rationale for this bill was based on a lie: that there was widespread voter fraud in Georgia in the 2020 elections,” Mr. Bastian said. “This is simply not true. Unfortunately, that excuse is being used in states across the nation that are attempting to pass similar legislation to restrict voting rights.”

certainly clean elections interfere with corporate influence in the statehouses

Yep that’s what they want. Only liberals allowed to fly Delta. Then when they are going bankrupt, they get a bailout from the federal government. Biden and Democrats are perfecting the technique of passing trillion dollar laws to bail out favored/failed constituencies.

the GOP must stand firm. If we can’t have open and free elections, our country is doomed.

EVerntually, the truth will come out regarding the fraud of November 3rd.

By then, Biden and company will have put us into a tailspin.

Hopefully we can survive.

I’m afraid, in the end it will be compromise with China and the rest of them.

There will be a world wide reset. Even Trump won’t be able to correct it.

Biden is a fool and weak. His whole party is, and half ours also. The world sees this for what is, and each and everyone will respond to it.

The sad outcome will be that more of our men and women will go to war over their shortcomings and corruption.

Why is Delta even offering an opinion on this? The proposed law has nothing to do with them. Oh, wait. I forgot. “Woke” corporations must stick their noses into every last thing.

Side note to Delta: My township is thinking about adding an extension to a road near me. Please Delta, issue a position paper on this as soon as possible.

The fraud wasn’t done by actual voters

It was done behind closed doors by Democrat operatives

Ya, but then we are told black folk, especially older black people, just don’t have an ID. And apparently can’t get one. And so it goes.

"... does not match Delta’s values,” he wrote

So the bill outlaws frequent aircraft maintenance? It requires pilots to fly without a weight and balance calculation? It changes the V1 speed for a fully loaded 777?

Does Delta have some "values" that I don't know about?

Don’t k now how they could do this, but Georgia needs to start causing Delta some logistical difficulties until they return to neutral, non political.

Interlocking positions of boards of directors between companies. That is what produces these garbage outcomes. And this form of bribery is offered to government bureaucrats with the revolving door system.

It’s a big self licking ice cream cone that is completely divorced from the opinions of consumers. The reward and punishment system is entirely contained within boards of directors of other countries, and in government bureaucracies.

I’m curious. I’ve never flown on Delta. Do they let you fly without ID?

FU. But global warming is true for you, schmuck.

"When customers choose to fly Delta, they should feel they’re making a statement about taking care of our planet,” Bastian said. “Our commitment to carbon neutrality means flying with Delta represents far more than a great travel experience – it’s about joining arms to create a better world.”

Move to New York City.

Delta has the ugliest and meanest stewardesses in the airline industry.

So Delta is saying the requirements that their pilots have valid identification is unacceptable?

...that Air Traffic Controllers have valid identification is unacceptable?

...that their Airframe and Powerplant mechanics have valid identification is unacceptable?

...that safety inspectors working for Delta have valid identification is unacceptable?

...that the armed Air Marshals on Delta flights have valid identification is unacceptable?

How about votes within the pilots union? Do the pilots need to be pilots and have an ID in order to vote in the union?

How about Delta's Board? Do they have to be valid members of the Board to vote on decisions affecting the stockholders or can they be any illegal or fake person voting?

How about the rest of Delta's employees? Are they hiring individuals without valid IDs? Can I claim a paycheck from Delta without an ID?

Delta = Hypocrisy.
