Delta Loses $50M Over 13 NRA Passengers

[dougiemac]

The number of Delta Air Lines passengers who bought tickets with NRA discount: 13... that's approx $3M lost in tax breaks per passenger.

Maybe my buddy pass will work now...nope still buying a ticket if I want to get there on time.

That whole situation is fucked. I don't agree with Delta about them cancelling their NRA discount program. I also don't agree with government extortion either though, which is basically what they were trying to do to Delta.

But Delta supports 2A!!

I'm glad my tax dollars aren't supporting Delta any more.

What are their projected earnings this year?

And I wonder if they learned any lessons about their timing...

Let's hope they don't decide their headquarters would be better off in Massachusetts.

Taking less in taxes from Delta isn't really 'supporting them with your tax dollars'. As long as the company provides a net gain to the state economy/bottom line a tax break is good for everyone. The last number I saw (maybe 10 years ago) showed that Delta represented 5% if the state economy.

I disagree. Why should us plebs all pay a gas tax and a huge company like delta pay zero gas tax? Are they going to take the money and reinvest in Georgia? Highly doubtful. This was a crooked deal from the start. If you want to lower the gas tax for delta, lower the gas tax for everyone.

I don't disagree. I just see two separate arguments. Essentially this is the same situation as Trump's new tax plan, just on a smaller scale. The economy is benefiting in some ways from the corporate tax changes, but I want my lower personal taxes made permanent. I have gripes, but I'm also doing better overall.

Hunter Hill is trying to make the income tax in Georgia zero. That I can get behind.
