Addressing the recent incident, one person commented: “The World is watching. If crew can openly wear BLM merch, hard to justify censoring this.”
Another person commented: “You guys have no problem with your employees sporting Democratic party, BLM, or rainbow regalia while they’re on the job. Why should this be any different?”
One person wrote: “Will never fly American again if you discipline an employee for having a political opinion.”
“If he’s not pushing the agenda on the passengers and not spewing stuff over the intercom she can mind her own business!” one commenter wrote. “This young man has done nothing wrong.”
The airline has not revealed the identity of the pilot in question, or whether he will be punishment for wearing the unapproved item.
