The Georgia legislature removed a
jet-fuel tax break from a larger tax package Thursday. Lawmakers were
upset that Delta, which is headquartered in Atlanta, dropped the
National Rifle Association from a discount-fare program in an effort to
appear neutral on gun policy.
After the firestorm,
Delta will review all its marketing programs to avoid those that might
become political, CEO Ed Bastian announced Friday.
But
the airline said only 13 passengers ever bought tickets with an NRA
discount. That translates into each discount costing the airline about
$3 million in tax breaks.
