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.”

Don’t those flight attendants know that Hamas memebers would probably throw them off of roofs?

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

The moment the Democrats saw those planes crash into those buildings, they knew they had discovered their new soulmates.

Modern day Nazis. These flight attendants would feel right at home 80 years ago as train attendants transporting Jews to concentration camps.

23 years? Try 7 years. We forgot about 9/11 and what the muzzies did when we elected a muzzie as president.

Do not fly an airline that through cowardice supports Hamas.

What’s incorrect about that?

“Our employees reflect our culture and we do not take it lightly when our policy is not being followed.”

The one employee at Delta with a brain just got demoted.

Its called a uniform for a reason. I.e. all the employees dress the same.

Delta Airlines does not exist as a platform for individual employees to express their personal political opinions. No unauthorized adornments should be permitted. There is no first amendment issue here and management had a clear choice and chose this path.

Delta management has made a statement with this action, It stating that its okay for our employees to show support for a designated terrorist organization on our flights.

Delta management has now endorsed a group of Jew hating, mass murdering Nazi reprobates.

In the future, shop for airline tickets accordingly.

There was absolutely nothing incorrect about describing Palestinian flag pens as Hamas badges!
