ANALYSIS: Delta Weighs Foreign Subsidiaries to Reduce Tax Burden
First: IF they do this...and it's a big IF... there will be very little change in day-to-day operations at the airline. Atlanta HDQ will still be clicking, and there will still be a Stars and Stripes on the side of the airplane.
Second: Why so quick to run to ALPA PAC for help on this? Their continued support for politicians that vote for higher taxes on those that produce, as well as making "evil big business" pay "their fair share" only assisted in creating this problem. ALPA PAC is fighting their own creation. Keep the growth-of-government crowd out of Washington and let the earners keep their earnings. No more wealth redistribution.
There needs to be a focus on whether ALPA wants to be a big-time "Jimmy Hoffa" break your knuckles socialist sympathizing labor group, or whether they want to be a trade-based lobbying power for a specialized industry. In summary, highly trained and skilled pilots do not belong lobbying with unskilled 3rd shift janitors in a meat packing plant.
Ok- I'm ready... Let the slaying and insults begin...
