This is the moment a Delta passenger has a huge meltdown at LAX - only to realize she's screaming at the wrong people. The woman, who has not been named, was filmed verbally abusing airline staff at the counter after she reportedly missed her flight. 'Get me the **** up on the next flight you *************' she is heard yelling, before demanding to speak to Transport Secretary Pete Buttigieg. She repeatedly screamed: 'Call Pete Buttigieg right now to handle the TSA! 'Call that ************ right now! That useless ************' The woman then slammed her fist on the counter, sparking laughter...

Delta Airlines has been hit with a lawsuit for the wrongful death of a woman whose husband fatally mowed her down in a Utah airport parking lot — with her estate claiming flight attendants overserved her beau. Representatives for the estate of slain mom Charlotte Sturgeon and her child — who witnessed the gruesome accident — say in the suit filed Thursday that the airline is to blame for her tragic death because its employees served husband Shawn Sturgeon at least two additional drinks despite him consuming “multiple” alcoholic beverages before even boarding the plane, according to a report by...

Fully vaccinated DOD personnel are no longer required to wear a mask at Defense Department facilities Defense Department personnel who are at least two weeks out from a final vaccine dose are no longer required to wear masks indoor or outdoors at DOD facilities, the Pentagon announced Friday. The official announcement, signed by Deputy Defense Secretary Kathleen Hicks, comes just a day after the CDC updated its guidelines to say fully vaccinated people “can resume activities without wearing a mask or physically distancing,” except when required by law or regulations. It also comes shortly after reports that individual installations were...

The media have embraced a dystopian vision by encouraging businesses to mandate vaccines as a prerequisite for employment. The woke company Delta Air Lines has reportedly caved to anti-freedom and un-American pressure from the left. Business Insider reported that Delta Air Lines “will mandate COVID-19 vaccines for new hires.” In addition, “the company may stop current staff members from working on international flights if they refuse a vaccine, its CEO [Ed Bastian] said.” Bastian reportedly told CNN May 13 that “‘[a]ny person joining Delta in the future, a future employee, we're going to mandate they be vaccinated before they can...

Hoping to get a job with an airline as travel picks back up? You’d better get your shot. At one airline, at least. Delta Air Lines CEO Ed Bastian said on Thursday that the airline will require all new hires to be vaccinated against COVID-19. Bastian’s comments came during an interview with Richard Quest on CNN. Existing employees will be encouraged to get the jab, but will not be penalized if they choose not to, Bastian said. “I’m not going to mandate and force people if they have some specific reason why they don’t want to get vaccinated,” Bastian said....

ATLANTA — All new Delta employees will now be required to be vaccinated against COVID-19 before being hired, the company announced Thursday. The Atlanta-based air line company did not reference whether or not they will be requiring current employees to be vaccinated, but complimented their employees saying they have made “great progress to achieve herd immunity within our workforce.” A spokesperson for Delta Air Lines released a statement Thursday evening saying, We know that vaccines are the best tool we have to protect one another and bring an end to the pandemic. Delta people have made great progress to achieve...

I have been a lifelong member of the Delta Airlines frequent flyer program. I have flown on Delta Airlines across the United States and around the world more than 200 times. For many flights, I was able to use frequent flyer miles and not have to pay anything more than a processing fee.It pains me to see Delta Airlines jump into the leftist mire over fair and lawful voting procedures. Of late, Delta Airlines has declared that the state of Georgia's recent legislation to install safeguards in the state's voting procedures is somehow limiting the vote, discriminatory, and unfair to...

Of course, everyone knows that the official party line out of Washington and the state-run media is that there was no election fraud in 2020. That’s fine. People can believe whatever they want, but when they try to prevent their opponents from exercising their sovereign will through legislative action, that cannot be tolerated. *snip* The Georgia legislature reasserted its authority last month and established rules for how to assure fair elections going forward. That should be the concern of the voters in that state, who elected the legislators who passed the law and the governor who signed it, voters who...

The controversy surrounding the new voting law in the state of Georgia raises important issues regarding the governance of our country and the role of corporations. Corporations are big and have a lot of economic clout, so there is justified concern about them abusing this economic power. It's why there are such strict lobbying laws in Washington. We want to make sure that corporations don't step over the line of representing their legitimate interests in legitimate ways. Corporations such as Atlanta-based Delta are now falling over themselves to see who can be the most zealously out front and condemn Georgia's...

Last week President Donald Trump asked for a full and unrelenting boycott of several corporations who are operating as political activists to advance an agenda on behalf of the far-left. The corporations spoke against election integrity and are opposed to secure election reforms. Among those corporations cited for immediate boycott was Delta Airlines. On Sunday Delta cancelled over 100 flights: ” Websites at three Delta hubs showed 33 canceled flights arriving or departing, the newspaper notes, with 19 canceled flights at Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, 11 at Detroit’s Metropolitan Airport and three at the Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport.” (link) Delta...

On Friday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Fox News @ Night,” Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) said that Georgia’s election law requires identification the same way Major League Baseball, Delta Air Lines, and American Airlines require people to show ID. Roy said, “It requires voter identification to be able to be used in voting. The same kind of [photo] identification, by the way, that Major League Baseball requires when you pick up tickets, whether it’s in Atlanta or, by the way, in Fenway Park in Boston or Yankee Stadium in New York. They have no problem with [photo] ID. Of...

Former President Donald Trump on April 2 urged people to boycott Major League Baseball (MLB), Coca-Cola, Delta, and other corporations which are openly opposing election reforms enacted by Republicans in Georgia. “Baseball is already losing tremendous numbers of fans, and now they leave Atlanta with their All-Star Game because they are afraid of the Radical Left Democrats who do not want voter I.D., which is desperately needed, to have anything to do with our elections,” Trump wrote in a statement released by his Save America political action committee. “Boycott baseball and all of the woke companies that are interfering with...

Donald Trump Jr. blasted Delta Airlines and “woke corporate culture” after Delta CEO Ed Bastian attacked Georgia’s voter integrity laws. In a video posted Friday, Don Jr. said Delta “is learning the hard way not to bite the hand that feeds it” after Georgia State Republicans voted to cancel a tax break plan for the airline. He added, Bastian’s comments were a stark contrast from Delta’s prior statement on the matter. In its previous statement, Delta admitted the legislation “improved” considerably during the process and was “committed to listening to communities and engaging with leaders from both parties.”

Earlier on Friday Major League Baseball Commissioner Robert D. Manfred, Jr. announced the MLB is moving the 2021 All Star Game and Draft from Atlanta in response to the new voting integrity law passed in Georgia last month. The All Star Game was set to be hosted by the Atlanta Braves at Truist Park stadium on July 13. The draft was to be held in Atlanta July 11-13. Joe Biden told ESPN on Wednesday he “would strongly support” MLB moving the game, calling the Georgia law “Jim Crow on steroids.” The new law requires a photo ID to apply for...

Just as Georgia was a flashpoint after the election because of the run-off election for the Senate, Georgia is again a flashpoint now that the Democrats, led by Creepy Joe, are demonizing the sensible steps the Georgia Legislature enacted to prevent election fraud. What's amusing about the Democrats' histrionics is watching as corporations that have earned brownie points for years by being woke, are getting slapped around by the left for not being woke enough. Even funnier is that, when Delta Airlines responded by "woking up," the Georgia House stepped in to slap it around some more. Briefly, leftists outraged...

For two weeks, Delta Air Lines and Coca-Cola had been under pressure from activists and Black executives who wanted the companies to publicly oppose a new law in Georgia that makes it harder for people to vote. On Wednesday, six days after the law was passed, both companies stated their “crystal clear” opposition to it. Now Republicans are mad at the companies for speaking out. Hours after the companies made their statements, Gov. Brian Kemp, a Republican, took aim at Ed Bastian, the chief executive of Delta, accusing him of spreading “the same false attacks being repeated by partisan activists.”...
