Come back to Minnesota! We still like you! Even though you changed your name to Delta when you bought Delta!

(For reals. Northwest bought Delta, not the other way around. Deal was, Northwest brought the cash, Delta brought the name. Not sure why that was the deal, but it was. They promised Minnesota they'd keep their flight control center in Eagan, MN, which remained true for about two years before they reneged and casually paid the fine for breaking the deal. The site has finally found a new buyer in the Minnesota Vikings, though, so they'd have to find a new site and rebuild if they did return here. They've still got an awesome maintenance facility here, though.)

Delta already has over half a dozen hubs, FYI; Atlanta's just where they kept the corporate offices. It wouldn't even be difficult for them to move.

And furthermore, boo-hoo.

Treat them as they deserve to be treated? Delta putting them in middle seats is easy, but it's going to be hard to make sure there's a kid behind them kicking that seat.

That's how I saw it described in at least two sources, but it's possible it was a year-round discount that's mostly used at convention time.

I think it will start, it will resemble Mauhler (weak), and we'll see what we're all really made of (as a nation). If we survive this we'll be all the better. I believe most of RWNJs think that the Left isn't armed and that the Right's got numbers that they really don't have when it comes to rebellion. Government had better crush them or the experiment's over.

I hope it's over quickly.

Mia Love sounds like it as well.

This is all so weird. Why did the NRA get discounts in the first place? They don't own or promote the airline, it's just random people who like shooty things. I can make a rose out of icing using a knife - that could be a weapon but I don't see British Airways giving me a discount. (Actually I have actually decorated cupcakes for a gay couple so perhaps that's why).

Maybe the yuge tax cuts made possible by trump will offset the 50 mil. If so, FUCK 'EM.
