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.”

“Why is Delta even offering an opinion on this?
Delta is doing what DC wants done. It is because we are now living under a fascist junta in that captured DC and is holding it by military force and secret police.
Government does what corporations want regarding advantages, laws and special subsidies and even warfare against competition. In return, corporations do what the the junta wants done, but cannot do and still pretend the Constitution still exists.
It is a blending of corporate and state power. Mussolini and Hitler would understand it quite well.
They are lining up all the corporate shills to attack GA.
Course, Hollywood tried this several years ago with the beating heart bill and lost.
They pretend to be woke. Like democrats they are racist. They think blacks are too stupid to be able to get a license or state ID, too stupid to get to a polling location, too stupid to be able to vote without being told who to vote for, too stupid to get a job or get in college without the elitist's intervention, too stupid to get through high school without having standards lowered. Pretty much, dems think blacks are dumber that dirt. So they think they can manipulate them. And sadly, too many blacks are willing to play the part for a few handouts. It really is pretty sad.
Democrats got together to boycott and make phones calls. Republicans never do this which is why we never get companies to reverse course.
It’s more like they’re afraid of what could happen if all the black workers decided to revolt at the Atlanta airport. The place must sit on a former plantation.
I’m sure more then 1 airline will be able to handle the entire southern United States Delta isn’t the only dog in the show
I believe u r so right.
> It is a blending of corporate and state power. <
Yes. I thought about that as well. Mussolini in particular advocated for “corporate fascism”, where employers and employees worked together to advance the interests. of the state. We are now in the early stages of corporate fascism here in America.
I say “early stages” only because some companies are still free to not participate. But targeted regulations and organized boycotts will eventually change that.
What has Delta got to do with GA election law?
Every CEO in the nation is held hostage to the progressive tilt.
I have friends at AT&T, IBM, Cisco, and ADP that are flabbergasted by the poison these CEO’s are making their employees breath in.
I’m starting to hear rumblings from minorites that I work with that they are watching your social media activity and will report you to management if you don’t toe that line as well.
What does this all look like to you?
No they fly Spirit Airlines or JetBlue.
I already avoid delta in any circumstance...my frequent flyer points with them have mold growing on them and can languish throughout eternity...why does any corporate board allow their chief exec to go out and pick a political fight that will only hurt their business? If I were a stockholder I would raise hell and dump this pathetic clown.
It wasn’t just an opinion, it was a blatant lie of his.
The bill is based on weaknesses in their systems. The bill is based on observed patterns. The bill is based on true and factual information. He is basing his lies on the media propaganda being spread.
This anti-truth propaganda is becoming more and more dangerous. It’s scary.
But they are perfectly capable of getting a virus passport for an experimental death “vaccine” that only keeps you “safe” for 3 months and is more capable of killing you than is an acceptable level in any other clinical trial. Amazing.
So I suppose Delta is ok with me boarding a flight without going through security or having a valid ID?
welcome to fascism. as Mussolini said fascism is really corporatism, an alliance between business and government.
Shut up and fly.
Delta’s planes smell bad, like vomit.
Mr. Bastian doth protest too much.
