Default Delta supports Obama's immigration plan...

Gutsy Delta Goes to Bat for Obama Immigration Move - Forbes

I'm sure they just wanted to win the business of the 5 million illegals given amnesty. I'm surprised they were willing to make a public statement on such a polarizing topic. I guess he's "RA", he can do whatever he wants?

Side note to moderators...I think the politics rule on here needs to be waved since that is exactly what is going on here...airlines & politics!

Fascism is good for business. Obama doesn't have constitutional authority to authorize this, immigration is under the legislative branch. I suspect this is a show, to look like he's doing something.

Regardless of where you come down on this issue it is a political hot wire. No comment was necessary. No one asked the question. Why would a corporation go out of their way to offer an opinion either way that has such a high probability of alienating a portion of their customer base?

Chamber of Commerce is a huge supporter of cheap immigrant labor, this will keep pressure on the low end of the wage scale for decades. No surprise a mega corporation would be all over this, they have been calling the shots in this country for some time. Is RA buds with that Zuckerface guy?

Hope and Change.

Smart political move if you're a corporation looking for a friendlier DOT, DOJ and DOS when you come knocking on the door. Haneda, NAI, ExIm bank, Open Skies agreements, anti-trust, consolidation, the list goes on and on.

You mean those decisions are not based on merit?

I don't know about Zuk and RA, but he is tight with the guy who runs Microsoft, and he's has been begging O'boma for more Work Visas for Chinese and Indian kids to come into the USA and work for him...for minimum wage.
