Delta says NRA discount was only used for 13 tickets
By Avery Anapol - 03/02/18 06:29 PM EST

Delta Airlines said Friday that they only sold 13 tickets under their group travel discount for the National Rifle Association.

The airline cut ties with the NRA last week in the wake of the Florida school shooting, prompting major outcry from gun owners and Georgia lawmakers, where Delta is based.

A Delta spokesperson told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution that the discount, which gave a price cut to members flying to their annual convention, was only used on 13 tickets.

The NRA hit back in a tweet, writing: “For a benefit that only 13 people ever used … they have a backlash that will span across all gun owners, not just NRA members. Seems logical.”

Which proves that their virtue signaling was not only stupid but quite expensive too!

"... and we are not taking sides."

I love it when CEOs have to back peddle their words.

One would think that a frigging CEO of 'any company' would be [made] aware of "Techbots"... where 20 people appear as FORTY THOUSAND!

It's all phony.

Teach Delta a lesson and boycott.
