It's not hard to understand why Delta charged troops returning from Afghanistan $3,000 for extra baggage considering the latest news about Delta. They are entering into a "partnering" agreement with Saudi Arabian Airlines. Said agreement prohibits Delta from allowing anyone with an Israeli passport or anyone who is Jewish to board any flights to or through Saudi Arabia. Yep, you read that right. An American carrier, who has a very large contract with Uncle Sam to fly troops to and from combat zones, has not only agreed with this arrangement, they are refusing to reconsider their decision even under the threat of lawsuits.
I have never been a strong advocate of boycotts, most of which are pushed by liberal causes, and usually not very successful, but I do "vote with my pocketbook". There are companies I just don't do business with. Bank of America (can't put American flags on their property for parades or service members funerals) and Target (refuses to allow the Salvation Army to solicit at Christmas, but allows every liberal cause free access) come immediately to mind. But I do think it's time real patriots send Delta a message. Maybe we should take a page out of the liberals book and call for a boycott of Delta.
Official or not, I urge every one of you to remember this the next time you're looking for tickets.
