LOL. “Virtue signaling while making a left turn.”
If corporations would only learn not to mix politics and business.
Serves them right! Ha Ha
If shareholders in Delta have a lick of sense, every big wig who thought attacking the NRA was a great idea should be sent packing.
Delta is obviously headed by at least one emotional twit. Shareholders should sweep the board clean of these fools, and start over.
This is what happens when you have an affirmative action filled management team.
Like to see a picture of the twit who made this decision.
what isn’t factored in is that Delta received a lot of free advertising towards sympathetic non-NRA members.

Delta says NRA discount was only used for 13 tickets ^
From what I heard this morning, Delta’s not backing down, either.
Let’s put them out of business by not USING their business.
Let them try to survive on business from the left - most of whom are worthless members of society who would have neither a reason nor the funds to fly.
This is a case of “the grapes were sour anyway” .... Delta saying the NRA discount wasn’t used but 13 times.
NRA members don’t join for the ‘discounts’. By trying to minimize the discount issue (only 13 used them anyway), I think Delta realizes they’ve kicked the hornets’ nest (otherwise, why say anything?) .... all those NRA members who did not join for the discount & who did not use the discount will no longer be flying Delta. That’s a vastly larger number than 13. Delta didn’t have the courage to resist the #metooanti-gun virtue signalers & certainly will not have the courage to reverse course.
If true, it is only more proof of how lame brained the Delta decision was as a business matter. Suck it up as you explain this disaster to your shareholders.
How many transgenders are there? But big corporations today would sacrifice every last dime of profit to pander to them.
Let’s see, they carried 13 passengers for maybe $10,000 in airfare and then got a tax break of over $40,000,000 for those 13, which would seem like a helluva good business deal for them, but they’re turning it down.
If the NRA discount program has no impact on their ticket sales, why would they decide to eliminate the discount, risking losing $40 million in Georgia tax breaks?
And pissing off 4+ million NRA members this will now not fly Delta, discount or not?
Corporate idiocy.
Well, maybe they do. We should remove any Marshalls.
Well, maybe they do. We should remove any Marshalls.
Sucks to be Delta. LOL!
So, you made a Public Relation Fiasco over, at best, a couple hundred dollars?
That is real smart.
Like the lucky strategist at “Carbonite” in 2012:

“Carbonite’s 2nd Quarter 2012 results shocked analysts, causing the company’s stock price to plummet by 15% in one day. “
“It turned out to be a bigger hole in our revenue than we had thought when we initially did this,” Friend said on a conference call on August 1
Delta lost a lot more than they realize.
I am not an NRA member, but I support their cause.
I am a Delta Gold frequent flyer and recently booked my last international flight with them.
Delta forgets that many NRA members are owners and/or executives of large corporations who purchase many flights per year. They may not purchase through NRA, but support their cause. Delta is going to find out this was a goodwill, business marketing disaster.
Delta, set the criteria the same for every group allowed a similar level of discounts and offer them to all groups who qualify. That’s non-political.
Dropping one issue group is being political....
