Re: Delta’s decision plan to add Saudi Arabian Airlines to your
Sky Team Alliance
Dear Mr. Anderson;
The decision to add Saudi Arabian Airlines to your Sky Team Alliance and thereby abide by the anti-Semitic, anti-Christian, anti-Buddhist, anti-Hindu and anti-every other religion travel policies of the Saudi government does great discredit to your corporation. This is, in effect, an acceptance of the judenrein policy of the Saudi government.
Your decision in this matter places you in alliance with those who oppose the principles of freedom and tolerance that Americans hold dear. Delta, by entering into this business agreement, also sends a message to other non-Muslims that that they will act as an agent for the Saudi government in enforcing laws, policies and prejudices that are repugnant, odious and profoundly anti-American. This action is an error of such magnitude that it cannot fail to detrimentally affect your corporate and moral credibility, to the extensive detriment of your shareholders.
We urge you to reconsider this immoral and ultimately unprofitable decision.
Very truly yours,
Frank V. Vernuccio, Jr., J.D., President
Larry L. Allison, Vice President
