Delta has been on the low end of American airliners for a while now though. Their service is sub par in my experience for sure.

All Delta has to do is move one or two flights to another Hub and Georgia will lose big bucks. As with all pols, these dudes are stupid. Georgia polls are probably especially do.

The VAST Majority of Delta business in Atlantia is stopovers (hub activity).

If Georgia wants to play rougher Delta could move 10% or more of their business to another (of many) hubs they currently of formerly used. After all, once a plane is in the air it really doesn't matter if it stops in Raleigh, Charlotte, etc.....or Atlanta. The time is in the takeoff and landing.

But Trump likes trade wars. Maybe the Georgia pols like getting involved in the "micro" end of business. Next thing you know they will tell people they need to serve only Coke (HQ in Atlanta).

Sure they do.

As usual, when you can't address the actual content of a post, make something up and hope it diverts attention away from the fact that you can't address the actual content of a post.

I agree Amazon should not bless Ga with 50,000 great jobs, when there are 19 more deserving cities on its list.

Newsflash: States need big corps, more than big corps need them. Every big corp has dozens courting them.

238 cities vied for Amazon HQ2. 20 cities remain.

Not giving one group a discount is not "attacking conservatives."

I deserve a discount because I love my guns!!

Geesh. And you guys have the temerity to call other people snowflakes.

Maybe raleigh or nashville have a long shot. I wouldnt be surprised to see more states strat courting Atlantas numerous headquarters, so many companies like delta, mercedes, porsche, home depot, UPS ,aflac, etc are headquartered there

These georgia politicians are borderline retarded and probably from small towns that depend on Atlantas tax money
Nashville better shot IMO than realized- as they would be an atmosphere (economy FIRST) Amazon would adore.

Ga is now Bubbaville. That's not good for economic development statewide.
