Well Folks Now Delta Airline is a free agent and can go where the best financial package is. Delta Airline is going to win whether they stay in Georgia or leave Georgia in a cloud of dust , looking back from theirs rear view mirror.
Bloodsucker corporations like Delta can do whatever they want within the law, but being partisan and attacking conservatives isn't really honoring free market, promoting liberty or very proper way for corporations to act.
If they were doing it for that reason I might. The reality is they're doing it for the wrong reasons. You're just celebrating that they picked your preferred winner instead of being upset that they are picking winners and losers instead of staying out of it.

To be honest I don't care if Delta removed discounts for NRA members or not. Shoot, I'm an NRA member and never even knew about it and likely wouldn't have used it anyway. Plus, I'm not the boycott type as I think they're pointless so if Delta has a good fare, I'll continue to fly it. It's the selective outrage at what the GA legislature did that's amusing me. So corporate welfare is bad unless it's removed because of a reason you don't like? That's the thing, if you're asking the govt for a handout, don't be surprised if they cut you off when you do something they disagree with. Moral of the story - be careful depending on govt handouts unless you want to beholden to said govt's whims and wishes.
To those who say that Georgia is simply going back to a free market: Get real, morons. The legislators made it clear that this move was specifically intended to punish Delta.
You right-wing apologists just amaze me sometimes.

Delta made clear they support the Constitution and made the business decision to remain neutral in the current national debate.
NRA is free to negotiate discounts for group sales with other carriers.

As I understand it the discount was applicable to only group sales.
Most folk don’t purchase airline tickets as a part of a group sale.
Delta made clear they support the Constitution and made the business decision to remain neutral in the current national debate.
NRA is free to negotiate discounts for group sales with other carriers.
NRA members are free to fly another carrier.
That’s how the free market works.
What baloney. Delta like many corporations took a partisan positon and tried to virtue signal by siding against a conservative group. I'm tired of corporations being partisan and helping dictate progressivism, globalism and all our economic policies in their favor. These global corporation are acting like they are emperors.
Delta isn't going to leave Hartsfield Airport in Atlanta.
(then again Cuomo is as big as an idiot as his brother on CNN)
Especially to go to one of the most backwards, regressive states in the nation, with the highest taxes.
