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?

"AIA"? I thought she worked for Delta Airlines. (But I could be mistaken).

She was not speaking on behalf of her employer.

No argument here.

AIA (or Delta) may be. I guess we'll find out, depending on how lawyered up she gets.

There's a boilerplate "morals clause" in 99.99 percent of the employee handbooks out there. I don't think that an employer can "control her", but I also don't think that anybody has a "right" to a job. And if that photograph was taken while she was on the clock aboard a company asset, she's toast in my opinion.
