The entire operating crew was seated across the aisle from me, in a very crowded gate. The A line FA started on a loud rant criticizing DAL corporate decisions to withdraw sponsorship from a recent event.....she continued the vocal rant, to include accusing DAL management of being in bed with the current POTUS and the NRA.
A newhire FA tried unsuccessfully to quieten or deflect her, but was unable. The Cap and Fo sat there eating a sandwich, and scrolling their IPad, and took no action whatsoever.
We are all entitled to our opinion and choice in life, but I don't believe that extends to public criticism of your employer and elected governmental leaders in public, while on duty in uniform.
Captains, be a Captain.....warrant the 4th stripe.
Rant over,

I hear ya, but these days, that's a guaranteed call from the CPO on your day off asking for a statement from you for "That time you yelled at the FA in front of the passengers and crew" -because you can bet a wack job like that will write your a$$ up in a NY minute and will do so in a very creatively bad for you kinda way. Throw in other factors, I'm not gonna say which, and it gets even worse. No thanks.
