American Airlines policy allowing BLM pins faces backlash from workers
NY Post ^ | 09/06/2020 | Carl Campanile and Jorge Fitz-Gibbon

There’s pin-demonium brewing at American Airlines.

Top brass at the nation’s largest commercial jet carrier is facing turbulence from within after it announced that flight attendants are now allowed to wear Black Lives Matter pins on their uniforms while on duty.

The move has irked some of American’s white New York staffers, including those who have spouses or relatives who are cops — because they consider the BLM movement divisive and anti-police, saying it promotes or condones violence.

“I take offense to this,” one veteran flight attendant said in an email to airline management obtained by The Post. “Serious offense. My husband is a LEO (Law Enforcement Officer), as was my deceased father and as far as I’m concerned ALL LIVES MATTER.”

Hey “American”

You disgusting racial pandering fools

What do you think your passengers would think seeing flight attendants wearing a racist, Communist, hate Christianity ‘pin”?

My gosh, who are these idiots making such stupid corporate decisions?

Lose customers for life, just genius

They are going to lay off ten thousand workers at the end of October. I wonder if this is some kind of test.

Aha! The basis for a lawsuit on racial discrimination grounds! Benjamin Crump to the rescue!

If they allow “white lives matters” pin, then they are playing fair.

Otherwise, they are supporting the Commie revolutionaries who would like nothing better than crashing their planes full of white people (and anyone else who would just be “collateral damage” to the revolution).

How about BLM with the classic red “no” circle-slash over it?

"...they consider the BLM movement divisive and anti-police, saying it promotes or condones violence."

I HATE it when the newspapers (especially the NY Post) cannot tell the SIMPLE TRUTH about this organization.

How will the passengers respond?

Pretty limited, I think. If you walk off the plane, you will face a $300 charge to re-ticket and be late to wherever you are going. Probably the best thing is to bombard the executive staff with calls and letters and emails if you encounter such a racially-charged pin on a worker.

If I’m going to go back to flying, I certainly don’t want BLM in my face.

Black Children Matter. They deserve stable, two parent families with a live-in mother and live-in father. They deserve to be taught to value education, obey the law and not to resist arrest. This will only happen when the Black community decides to change its culture.

The six platform demands of blm are:

1. End the war on black people.

2. Reparations for past and continuing harms.

3. Divestment from institutions that criminalize, cage and harm black people; and investment in the education, health and safety of black people.

4. Economic justice for all and a reconstruction of the economy to ensure our communities have collective ownership; not merely access.

5. Community control of the laws, institutions and policies that most impact us.

6. Independent black political power and black self-determination in all areas of society.

To achieve those demands the group offered a set of solutions that include the demilitarization of the police and an end to systemic attacks on black youth, including black members of the lgbtq community. They call for the passing of state and federal laws that acknowledge and address the impacts of slavery and passage of H.R. 40 to form a commission to study reparation proposals. Another of the recommendations calls for the “retroactive decriminiliazation and immediate release of all people convicted o drug offsenes, sex work related offenses and youth offenses.”

I just had my little dust-up with an airline over their failure to give a prompt refund after they canceled the flight.

Tactics (which could be adapted in this case):
—Complaint filed with US Department of Transportation
—Complaint filed with Better Business Bureau

It worked (slowly, but it worked).
