Delta hit with backlash over tweet about flight attendants wearing Palestinian flag pins, issues groveling apology
NY Post ^ | 7/12/24

Delta Airlines faced intense backlash after the company’s social media account said it would be “terrified” if flight attendants wore a Palestinian flag pin, forcing it to issue a groveling apology.

On Wednesday, an X user posted two photos of Delta flight attendants wearing Palestinian flag pins, which were incorrectly described as “Hamas badges,” during the flights — prompting a response from the airline.

“I hear you as I’d be terrified as well, personally,” the airline wrote in a post. “Our employees reflect our culture and we do not take it lightly when our policy is not being followed.”

Delta, which boasts over 1.6 million followers on the platform, deleted the post the following day and demoted the worker.

“Delta removed a mistakenly posted comment on X Wednesday because it was not in line with our values and our mission to connect the world,” the airline told The Post in a statement.

“The team member responsible for the post has been counseled and no longer supports Delta’s social channels. We apologize for this error.”

Rhetorical questions of the day: What if a flight attendant wore a Gadsden flag pin? Or a (GASP!) Confederate flag pin? Or, horror of horrors an ISRAELI flag pin? Betchya that employee would be facing disciplinary action, if not terminated faster than Lets go Brandon Brown on steroids.

There's more airport Karen freakouts and midflight meltdown vids than one can watch in a lifetime. Not to mention their planes are falling apart midair and all they're concerned with is the hurt feeeewings of certain demographics.

I'd feel safer flying on a Trans American Boeing (boing?) 707 piloted by Leslie Neilson. /NO sarc here!

I fly frequently. Seeing Palestinian adornment on a uniform would make me seriously consider where I wanted to spend my money next time.

It's not that I'm heavily triggered - just that I'm a strong believer in free market capitalism and will typically reward the company busting their butt to serve the customer, versus one who spends more time focusing on woke ideologies.

Other than a Delta pin or American flag, nothing should be allowed on their uniform.

The proper call.

I don't have a source where I read it, but I believe that is their policy now.

Are the pins there to let hijackers know who’s on their team?

“How about no personal badges, pins, etc when in Delta uniform?”

Article: Later that day, the airline announced a blanket ban on staff members wearing any flag badges, except the American flag, starting July 15.

It only took us 23 years to forget about 9/11.

“Palestinian flag pins...Hamas badges” = hate symbols.

A few years back when I traveled by air quite frequently I noticed tge gays started self identifying. It was usually something glaringly obvious like big orange glasses and a matching big orange wrist watch. Just more of the “look at me” crowd.
Dont travel anymore and you couldn’t force me on an airliner!

Company representatives should always use "corporate speak" when handling a delicate issue.

In the case at hand, the second part of the statement is okay. But the first part was totally unnecessary - esp. the word "terrified."
