No one can deny that at one time Delta Air Lines was the largest company in Atlanta, and had the greatest effect on the Atlanta and Georgia economy.

I am appalled that this administration would sit on their backside and allow an oil company to price-gouge, and reap billions of dollars in profit, while an airline that has supported the state of Georgia’s economy for so long is forced to go bankrupt because of the price of fuel.

I hear rumbles that the oil companies might get fined for price gouging. This would not help the airline or the Georgia economy.

If this government administration wants to do what’s right, they should go back to 2000, when they took power, and find out how many gallons of fuel Delta brought from [that] time until now. Then force the oil companies to reimburse the airline $1 per gallon for every gallon they purchased. Now that would bring the airline out of bankruptcy, and help get the Atlanta and Georgia economy back on track.

There is more that one reason that Delta is bankrupt; they were also the victim of robbery. When top management took all the operating capital (millions of dollars) out of the company and jumped ship, it helped Delta go broke. The people should be prosecuted and made to return the money they took. That would help bring the airline out of bankruptcy.
