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.
That would be like one of us getting fired because a coworker happened to see what some of us post on Free Republic.
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 agree with that, but once someone IS employed by a company, they shouldn't have to worry about losing their job because of what they do on their OWN personal time. Unless there was something specifically addressing something like this as cause for termination or it was something in her contract with the company, then at most, she should get a warning, and if that isn't the real reason they fired her, then somebody needs to have the guts to tell her what the real reason is.
"She posed for a cheesecake photo in what her employer considered to be an inappropriate way while wearing her employer's uniform."
Not all people automatically know what an employer might consider inappropriate. If she was not given a given a warning, her termination is at the very least, unfair.
One small problem. AIA requires the Flight Attendants to purchase their uniforms (looking for confirmation). If this is true, then they CANNOT punish her for wearing it.
She was not speaking on behalf of her employer.
AIA may be in the wrong here...

Is it your position that an employer can control her, or any employees non-work activities that do not violate law or federal regulation?
