And decides to ban Jews on airline routes. From WND.com:
Delta Air Lines’ plan to add Saudi Arabian Airlines to its SkyTeam Alliance of partnering companies would require the American carrier to ban Jews and holders of Israeli passports from boarding flights from New York or Washington bound for Jeddah, prompting outraged accusations of illegal religious discrimination.
The issue, which has caught the attention of the American Center for Law and Justice already, was raised when Washington attorney Jeffrey Lovitky was perusing airline procedures for travel.
“As we learn more about the issue and facts, we are determined to ensure that American citizens do not face discrimination by airlines like Delta that are passenger code-sharing with Saudi Arabian Airlines,” said Colby M. May, director and senior counsel of the ACLJ.
Further Creeping Shariah, anyone?
But of course I’m a loon and none of this happens. Move along. Nothing to see here. Watch your American Idol and examine one old white Dachau-like cranker-rocker dude, one Mexican female with no tits and a way over-rated ass, one fat black dude with no inherent personality. Discuss.

P.S.
I was, previously, completely indifferent about Delta. Now I am completely anti-Delta. But hell, they don’t need me, do they? Their corporate Spin Doctors will do what they do best: soothe ignorant Americans.
Do you feel soothed?
Guess they think any publicity is good. Recently they tried to charge service people returning from deployments baggage fees. They back off that quick.
I fly them when my company books me on their flights. On my own dime, no.
My take on it: Congress should stay out of this. I don’t want congress wasting another second telling a private company what they can and can not do. Charging military for bags.. Okay fine. Let the FREE market dictate the rules. IF Americans TRULY are American Delta goes bankrupt in about a month. Get the word out about the business practices of Delta and move along. There will soon be a fire sale of Delta merchandise.
I won’t be flying delta nor will any of my family or friends if they wish to stay family and friends. Line drawn. Just like I have drawn the line with my friends and family. IF I ever see MSNBC on your TV on a visit you are no longer one I consider friend. NBC made the list too. I don’t patronize businesses who practice anti-Americanism.
Don’t forget these are the same scum bags that charged a unit of American soldiers returning from a deployment in Afghanistan as much as $2,800 in luggage fees on a flight from Baltimore to Atlanta.
We know where they stand. And it’s not for the United States.
Delta just lost some customers. I hope they go belly up.
TEST – Google updated accounts that own their domain and emails and has, in true Google fashion, screwed the pooch…
Hm… now Delta is saying they didn’t really say that… 🙂
WSF: nice to know. What peaches.
Robert, excellent point. Let the free market act as it will. There should have been a “hands-off” policy since 2007 and TARP under Bush.
Leticia, you can only pander for so long until the customers decide to let their feet do the speaking.
TF: I must be missing something.
NFO: of course, the cat’s outta the proverbial bag now. It became a news story.

The airline industry is just another big union stain. Delta must be on their way out. Charging GIs for bags, looking for some Saudi cash flow; it smacks of desperation.
Turns out the problem is with Israeli passports. (Saudis don’t recognize them.)
Would somebody please drill a hole somewhere… anywhere, so we can loose these sand fleas.
Delta can do it.
They’re in so much s__t even wings are useless.
But Delta Airlines also spells Ideal Latrines.
Dig Delta dig!
BZ, unless you own a domain registered thru Google and have a Gmail acct that is @bloviatingzeppelin.com or some such, yeah, you missed it.. Consider yourself lucky…
