What about Native Americans? I’d argue they probably had it far worse being massacred and all. But I guess they don’t count?

Because it’s endorsing support of a volatile political action group. I think it has the potential to cause problems on our flights between Black Lives Matters supporters, Blue Lives Matters supporters, Trump supporters, Biden supporters, etc. To me, it’s adding fuel to a potential fire that we (flight crews) will have to deal with enroute. The only reason AA and DL are doing this is to try to win a political game. In my opinion it is irresponsible.

No it isn’t. It even states on the internal Delta page that it is an endorsement of the overall movement and not any specific organization.

Well when the BLM pins have a DL logo, it seems like an endorsement to me. Besides, “overall movement” vs. “specific organization” in this instance sounds like word games to me. Just one pilots opinion.

while that may be their intention, a pin with the delta logo surrounded by the name of a specific organization definitely comes across as endorsing that organization

EDIT: airspeedsalive beat me to it

don’t worry dude, old white men (boomerflakes) can only take one hit to their precious ego at a time. They’ve got that one lined up next.

it’ll be awesome to sit there with the pin on and finally not have to talk politics with these guys lol.

how far are you willing to go? Trump is now after our top generals. I never really liked upper management During my stay in the Air Force, but I definitely know these guys and gals have worked hard and have our best interests at heart. When is enough going to be enough for people to realize the orange dude has no moral compass and doesn’t gas about anyone else. When? When are you guys going to have an ounce of courage and break from republicans this round until they get someone that has some integrity? Or is it republicans party at all costs? Lol my pin will be twinkling you in the eye all trip and I’ll be happy it causes you discomfort.
think of it as payback for voting in someone that has completely embarrassed us on the world stage. Someone that has tanked our nation with his response to a world pandemic, someone who doesn’t value other people’s struggles, etc etc

wearing a pin is the least I can do

Its only a matter of time before this blows up in our face.
Ed has backed ourselves into a corner with this crap....they can’t Back out of it now, cause it will POff all the liberals who think BLM stands on the correct side of history, while the rest of the country thinks that by allowing the public wear, and in fact the creation of a Delta logo’d BLM Pin Is supporting a racist organization and ****es off everyone else.

there is no winner here, and we (Delta) should of stayed out of politics.

You will need to take that pin off before you ask me for the jumpseat.

I tried to politely discuss my issues with you. Unfortunately, you have shown yourself to be hypocritical from your previous posts and have lost all credibility with me. This post is one example of the my way or the highway attitude the left employs. If you don’t like what the other side is saying, you try to character assassinate, dox, or belittle. I thought you wanted to affect change, you just wanted it your way.
