So what do you do when you can't boycott?
Now, AirTran comes along and gives $75K to the Georgia Republican Governors Association and when it got “caught” disingenuously said the Dems hadn’t “asked for anything.”
If you live in Atlanta and want to fly, you have two choices, AirTran and Delta. And I’m not in love with Delta.
So I’ll continue to give AirTran money and it will give the GOP money. And I won’t be happy.

I'll be flying Airtran exclusively now. Thanks for the headsup.
The beauty of democracy, as influenced by corporate bucks.
Publicizing what they've done is a good start, and you can follow it up with graffiti in strategic places written in indelible ink.
I always fly Delta. They are the home team, and my sister's employer. And where I accumulate all my miles.
Ah, but Fermi, can you actually redeem the miles? I have maybe a 25% success rate.
It has been a while, but last time I redeemed miles I flew Boston to San Diego first class. Nice.
Buy stock. Work to vote the rascals out who donate to folks you think are rascals.
And, yes, I know you'd be swimming against a riptide: Real corporate democracy would be real financial reform, though.
Would you stop going to your doctor if s/he were Republican? AirTran will now give the Dems money and you can fly easier knowing this, right?
Besides, looks like some of your best friends are Republicans
Cordially,
They have other qualities.
