I don't knock delta for taking a stand on this and many other issues they do, I just don't think any of the political Activism US3 is showing will sway consumers in a material way.
See my post above, but I don't think they're trying to sway readers as consumers. I think they're trying to sway readers as constituents and policy makers. How well do you think it plays if a politician is pro-killing 1,500 jobs per route lost?
