re: #582 Don’t Blame Me, I Voted for Kodos

I’m waiting for the announcement that Delta will be relocating their national hub out of Hartsfield-Jackson (Atlanta International) Airport to another facility. That move alone will cost the state BILLIONS of dollars as it will definitely remove their designation as the world’s busiest passenger airport.

I would think it would take months to logistically determine how to make a move that big. I don’t think there are a lot of airports in the country that could handle the traffic that isn’t a hub for a carrier now. Denver could, I suppose, but their weather is not great. I would almost expect them to go to Minneapolis where NW used to be but left when they merged with Delta. Again, weather. Does corporate need to be where the airport is? Maybe, maybe not.

It is beyond troubling that Republicans are willing to kill commerce for this.

I don’t get shocked by them much any longer but this completely shocks me.
