I completely agree that any political statement endorsed by the company makes it a more complicated and distracting environment. I can understand this sentiment.
However, I also believe that some causes are worth standing up for, and it's encouraging to see corporations take a stand for a cause that at it's core is about equal rights. But that's my personal opinion.
There are ways to have conversations about this stuff though where it doesn't the evolve into a left verse right boxing match. If it's a reasonable discussion discussion between two people trying to find common ground that's probably what Delta is trying to accomplish. If not, let's talk about sports..
For sure. We all stand to gain from reasonable discussion. I hope DAL/EDV know what they're doing. Customer perception and sentiment mean a lot. My check depends on people paying money to fly with us. Hopefully not too many are alienated.
