They are being fired because they voluntarily and publicly revealed themselves and now their employers have chosen to part ways with them based on this additional information.

Neither airline made a strong statement or committed to deal with these people properly.

God bless Charlie Kirk.

His death has caused the light of 1000 suns to shine on the Dark Side.

I often wonder what would have been the situation if Social Media had been around in the turbulent 1960’s starting with Kennedy assassination and the Vietnam War for starters?

I have read that meny Dems in Texas did not like JFK at all and were very pleased when Johnson became President. What that might have been like with today’s social media and lack of decency, who knows.

I wouldn’t want to be on a flight with a pilot like that in the driver’s seat just because I wouldn’t know who else on board might know about it and then decide to raise hell over it.

The pilots’ unions for both Delta and American are democrat supporters and they will be fighting for reinstatement for these pilots, for which the airlines will cave in and they will be back flying.

Remember when the Rev. Jesse Jackson bragged about being a waiter and spitting in the patron’s soup?

If the airlines did this, there is likely nothing the fired employees can do. If the government had a hand in this, then these employees can claim First Amendment rights. As disturbing as their comments are, the First Amendment would likely protect their right to make them if the government were to have influenced this outcome.

To me it all depends on where and how the pilot expressed his or her opinion. In a lounge talking to a friend? Not my or the airline’s business. In a TV interview or public forum I would fire them too. But in private discourse no. Of course the private part seems to get lost on the internet or phones.

Saying the words to murder is not the same as believing the act should actually happen. Otherwise a lot of the posters here would face firing.

“Remember when the Rev. Jesse Jackson bragged about being a waiter and spitting in the patron’s soup?”

I remember several of high school boys talking in class about spitting, masturbating and peeing in the drinks and food of cops. They were working at fast food jobs. It changed the way I saw fast food and after that I always went inside where I could keep an eye on the food.

The ‘press’ didn’t get their liberal talking points out to these guys - the new meme is ‘we all need to get along’ (because crazy liberal killers are hurting the democrat party.)

I hate to say it but there are a lot of gay/trans pilots. They switched over with all the lgbqsdqvzz flight attendants who were no longer stewardesses.

It was stated many times that nobody could have imagined planes being flown into buildings, though flying planes into structures wasn't out of the question. (Air France Flight 8969/Tom Clancy novel)

Further delving into this, imagine a radicalized pilot intentionally crashing their plane because a group of conservatives are on their aircraft.

Don't think it can't happen, because recent events show that it COULD, and airlines need to accept that reality and that the "terrorist" might already be FLYING the plane.

JMO, YMMV

The unions wont let airlines fire these guys but put them in jobs tracking down lost baggage or something

Still problematic. Sure, he would catch Sam Brinton, but would probably let him go if they can share the loot.

These leftists are simply proving that we’d wind up in cattle cars if they could somehow get away with it.

Have you been on an airplane lately?

They've already gotten away with it.

> Aren’t they allowed as private individuals to speak their minds?<

Publicly celebrating a murder is akin to “Allahu Akbar” and attending a radicalized mosque. Do you also have no problem with that?

Recall Buttplug destroyed the FAA. hiring rules for hiring
and demanded only incompetent DEI hires as long as
they had the right DNC criteria .
These DEI are just like the SS DEI agent just canned .
Pres Evil Jill Bidenista was the DEI queen .
