how important is it for a company like delta to do that? >> well, delta's got a couple of different things at play here. there's lots of choice in airlines, right? and so they're in a very competitive business. they don't want to send the signal that they're aligned with the state, that is particularly unwelcoming or seems to be unwelcoming to certain individuals. and so that would be in the minds i'm sure of the management of delta. >> finally you've been crunching the numbers, doing the retch for a long time -- the research for a long time. more broadly speaking what might happen in some of these other states should they do what arizona did not and allowing this legislation to become law? >> well, it's impossible david to estimate this with precision. but the direction, and i think general order of magnitude, is appropriate. and these are very important actions. i think that legislators are taking with respect to future economic activity. and it's simply because the mobility today is far greater than it's ever been. so folks aren't locked
