Skift Take
We're having a moment. In the wake of the Florida school shooting, travel companies are abandoning the National Rifle Association and its assault rifle advocacy. History would tell us that no substantial reforms will come out of this. But perhaps student and corporate pressure will make things different this time.
In the wake of the mass shooting at the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, airlines, hotels and car rental companies are jumping on the bandwagon — sometimes under pressure — and are eliminating discount programs for National Rifle Association members.
These travel companies include Delta, United, Hertz, Avis, Budget, Enterprise, National Alamo, Wyndham and Best Western.
Delta tweeted that it is requesting that the NRA remove Delta information from the NRA website as the airline is terminating discounted rates for NRA members through the airline's group travel feature.

United likewise is asking the NRA to erase the airline's information from the rife association's website, and won't be offering discounted flights to its annual meeting.
