Now that is a serious infringement of her personal rights. That would be like one of us getting fired because a coworker happened to see what some of us post on Free Republic. If that happened, a lot of us would be unemployed. I suspect that this was a matter if her having embarassed someone by something she wrote, even if she didn't use real names. Posting her picture was a dumb move, but she shouldn't be fired for it.
I don't agree. Nobody has the "right" to work for a particular employer. She can always try to find an employer willing to let her keep her blog.

The analogy is flawed. She posed for a cheesecake photo in what her employer considered to be an inappropriate way while wearing her employer's uniform. That's a call they get to make, and they made it. If my employer suddenly made the call that posting on FreeRepublic was cause for termination, I would be out the door the next day and would go to work for somebody else.
I'll shed no tears for her today. Let her find another job.
I haven't been to her site, nor do I intend to go. So I will continue the fine FR tradition of posting bloviations when I have no idea what I am talking about. If her site is like most employment related sites I have seen it is a mix of salacious "true stories" about sexual exploits with a healthy dose of "my boss is an idiot". Add it general criticism of airline procedures and safety, and you have a website people will visit and run up the counter.
But I could see why that would give Delta an itchy finger on the firing hand. Posting her picture in a Delta aircraft in a Delta uniform gave them the cause.
No it wouldn't.
Take a look at your employee handbook. 99.9% of all companies have a clause for detrimental behavior. Positive Delta has one. No Excuses! Bye Bye!
