I just thought it was an interesting article that I'd be curious to know if I worked for Delta, and more-so if I flew the Bus.

I don’t know about you, but when I sign-in for trips I’ve never been told by corporate why they are using a specific airframe for a particular flight.
That said, I find this article interesting. Not that we evaded the tariffs, but that Jet Blue and AA didn’t.
And regardless of your political affiliation, we can all agree that no one likes to actually pay taxes. If the loopholes are there, people/companies will exploit them. It pays to hire/retain a smart finance department.

Tax evasion = Crime that could/will get you first an audit and eventually an indictment.
