Huntsville Mayor Tommy Battle is joining the drumbeat started by Birmingham Mayor Randall Woodfin.

Hey Delta, look at us!

Battle, who is also running for governor, toured Birmingham-Shuttlesworth International Airport on Wednesday.

He then chimed in on Twitter, echoing comments by Woodfin urging Delta Airlines to give Birmingham a look after relations between the airline and the Georgia legislature have emerged in recent weeks.

"Hey Delta, I just wrapped up a tour of the Birmingham Shuttlesworth International Airport," Battle tweeted. "It's a great place that's ready for growth. I'm sure (Woodfin) would love to show you around."

He then added the hashtag that Woodfin has used: #Letschat.

The Georgia legislature last month ended a lucrative tax break for Delta after the airline severed ties with the National Rifle Association in fallout over the Florida school shooting on Feb. 14 that killed 17 people, including 14 students.

It's led to speculation that Delta, which is Georgia's top employer with more than 33,000 jobs, would look elsewhere for a new home.

Woodfin first tweeted to Delta on Feb. 27.

Hey @Delta . You know, in mathematics, Delta represents the change in something, e.g. 🔺HQ. Let’s chat. #BHM — Randall Woodfin (@randallwoodfin) February 27, 2018

Phillip Levine, former mayor of Miami Beach and a Florida gubernatorial candidate, also tweeted to Delta and urged them to come to Florida. He also sent the airline a letter, writing, "I believe this is a unique opportunity to send a loud message as a corporate citizen that you will not stand to be bullied by politicians who will not do the right thing."

Battle is among the first officials in Alabama to back up Woodfin's call for Delta to give Birmingham a look. U.S. Sen. Doug Jones retweeted Woodfin's initial tweet to Delta the same day.
