The good news for Delta? Opponents of the airline's decision might still be upset, but you don't hear about the NRA discount much anymore.
Also, even though the state of Georgia made a big deal about pulling Delta's tax discounts--prompting other states to try to attract Delta to relocate its headquarters-- the state eventually came around and more quietly restored them.
In the end, it didn't really cost Delta anything to stand up to the NRA, and it probably gained a lot of net positive brand equity for discontinuing a discount that reportedly only about 13 people had ever used anyway.
God know why the NRA should be eligible for a discount anyway. If you're going to do something nice for someone, how about for teachers or hospice nurses?

As a family with NRA membership..... I didn't even know Delta gave an NRA discount prior to this. I fly Delta because it's usually the cheapest with the most direct non-stop routes for me. When Delta punishes me for being an NRA member and takes away my skymiles for it...then screw em. Otherwise, who cares?

Punishing? They are just treating you like everyone else. No more discount
Delta crunched the numbers and figured NRA people don't travel very far. Simple.
