Delta Airlines said Friday that they only sold 13 tickets under their group travel discount for the National Rifle Association.
The airline cut ties with the NRA last week in the wake of the Florida school shooting, prompting major outcry from gun owners and Georgia lawmakers, where Delta is based.
A Delta spokesperson told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution that the discount, which gave a price cut to members flying to their annual convention, was only used on 13 tickets.

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 sposed 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 wouldnt harm you.
Suck it up buttercup and if I were on your board of directors Id be after your jobs.
All of that negative publicity over 13 tickets????
Do they have idiots in their marketing department????
Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha
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 lost $3,076 per ticket
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.
That’s like shooting yourself in the balls for $13 bucks.
Way to go stupids.
Then they should have kept their mouths shut.......
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.
Sweet, for $5-6K, they lose $50 million!
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.
your decimal place is wrong
it is 3 million dollars per ticket
This makes me wonder just how many AR-15’s were sold last year
by Dick’s Sporting Goods.
I will bet that they will never say.
yep...... you are right
