Consider it a warning to not put anything on it you don't want picked up and misconstrued as unsafe or non-PC. After this whole incident with SD on CNN I could see the company rethinking FF and @workplace.

"Delta Pilots Flew a BROKEN Airplane With Passengers". Is that really so hard to imagine how this happens?! Clearly, it's already happened once with this story.

It's obvious downside is that it is now apparent that we have crew sending copied messages directly to media outlets when they disagree with the outcome/message!

If they'd simply relabel "Ramp Tower" "Operations," (because it's operations, not the ramp tower.) And if said "Operations" actually signed in and responded, I'd have a lot more faith in it.
