Interesting that a private company would go out on such a limb on such a controversial subject.

Well Delta is fighting a proposed second, much needed IMHO, Atlanta airport and needs a friendly federal government to intervene.

Do you think the two issues are related?

Well freak Delta, but they are the only airliner worth a shite to fly into JAN so I guess I will keep using them to fly home.

While I don't think the overall plan, as I have read it is bad, I 100% don't agree with doing it via EO...


frick Delta, will never fly with them.

Obama's proposal was entirely reasonable.

Seriously.
If the GOP had made that proposal, few would be up in arms. There is no path to citizenship, no actual amnesty, and an increased focus on deportation of criminals.

Though enacting the proposal thru EO was not reasonable, it was a telegraphed punch. GOP idiots could have absolutely destroyed the EO, before it was even issued. Instead Boehner and the GOP swallowed the President's troll, hook-line-and-sinker. They seem to have swallowed it so deeply that extracting the hook will be a bloody mess. Really a pitiful scene, considering what might have been.

Welp, won't fly Delta anymore. They can be the section 8 housing of the skies, all their passengers paid for by the gov. Enjoy.

Looking for lower cost Mexican baggage handlers, pilots, and stewardesses.
