‘Sickening’: Atlanta Airport Exploits Employee Deaths To Promote Delta Air Lines
The Atlanta airport serves two primary functions, neither of which has to do with flying passengers from one place to another. It’s a piggy bank for politicians and politically-favored individuals to skim cash from and it exists to operate on behalf of Delta – making the lives of competitor airlines difficult (such as in the scheduling of gates), blocking a second Atlanta airport, and promoting their corporate overlord.
So when two Delta Air Lines employees were tragically killed on Tuesday at an airport maintenance hangar following a tire explosion, the airport took to Twitter to express condolences using Delta’s corporate slogan “keep climbing.”

When I first saw this I wondered whether someone on the airport’s social media team was being sarcastic – pointing out how the airport acts as an arm of Delta even in tragedy? But the post remains up a day later.
Think if McDonald’s released a statement about employee deaths and said “I’m loving it.” That’s what you did, Atlanta Airport. WTF?

This is way more than tone deaf. It appears to be a window into the airport authority’s Stockholm Syndrome.
