Get it now?
No No No!! It doesn't work that way...

You can't, for example expect to work at Burger King and yell all day long that cows are sacred and should not be killed - or McDonald's is far better... you will rightfully get fired from that job and no-one is violating your free speech.

You can't expect to work at a church for long while professing your adoration for satan... it just doesn't work that way.

You CAN protest for Westboro Baptist Church if that's your thing and you won't necessarily get tossed in jail, but you won't make many friends of get a lot of job offers either... It's protected free speech.



You mentioned the ALPA code of ethics... how does calling for the public lynching of an elected official square with:

"On his days off, he will not engage in any occupation or activity that will diminish his efficiency or bring discredit to his profession."

"He will realize that he represents the airline to all who meet him and will at all times keep his personal appearance and conduct above reproach."

"He will remember that to his neighbors, friends, and acquaintances he represents both the profession and ALPA, and that his actions represent to them the conduct and character of all members of the profession and ALPA."

"He will not publish articles, give interviews, or permit his name to be used in any manner likely to bring discredit to another pilot, the airline industry, the profession, or ALPA."
