As a Platinum Medallion flyer, I've reached out to Delta to do the same.

This is how we fight. As a country.

(5,507 posts)The private prison industry (who donated $$$$$ to Dotards inaug) is raking in billions from this crime against humanity.
There was a quote on Thom Hartmans show that they are charging the government (we taxpayers) $700 A FUCKING DAY to house each of these kids. While I can't confirm that number, it shouldn't surprise no one.
Dotards reversal of his instituted "separation" policy does nothing to change the profit motive for the private prisons. Now they get to hold immigrant FAMILIES indefinitely.
The "capitalists" , as you say, are the ones behind this atrocity. They pushed Dotard to do it. We taxpayers are all on the hook for the cost.

AZ8theist
(5,507 posts)NONE...ABSOLUTELY NONE of the executives or employees of the private prisons will EVER be brought up on the charges you mention.
Don't get me wrong, I believe the entire Dotard regime should be brought up on Nuremberg-type charges and they should all face the consequences.
But as long as we remain the United Corporations of America, no one will face any liability.

(3,059 posts)I'm not a Medallion flyer with Delta, but I've been flying with them exclusively for the last couple of year. I just sent them an email asking them to join United, American, and Frontier on this.
Oh, jeez. Literally as I was typing this, MSNBC just came on with an item about how Homeland Security just came out and slammed the airlines for not "understanding" the issues, and are willing to expose Americans to violence and terrorism. I hate these people.

(13,584 posts)Apparently they're running a lot of the kids through DFW airport, American's hub. That might put a dent in it.

(15,371 posts)The DHS/ICE will need to start using the specialized services of those small independent airlines that operated for the CIA and other black-ops. Perhaps Eric Prinz can facilitate these transfers.

(45,547 posts)Taking such a brave stance United. I'm sure this will repair their company reputation.
Still, good for them. Other airlines should do the same. There are only so many government owned planes that can be used for transporting these kids. I bet most of them are sent by bus.

(32,737 posts)meaning, if ICE/DHS books it, United CANCELS the booking. And if they somehow sneak their way in by booking under another name, they're stopped at the gate.
When's the last time trump thugs/goons abstained from stuff they "should not" do? If that were the case, we wouldn't be in this mess to begin with!
