My mother got screamed at for not wearing a mask outside walking down the street. She's had covid and has been vaccinated; yet the fear is in people, and not seeming to go away. I don't know.

You do know that the vaccine does not prevent you from becoming infected, right? It just prepares you for an immediate immune system response and prevents you from getting sick. As such you may still transmit the virus even after you've been vaccinated. To what extent is unknown at this time. So yes, masks are still needed. Not for your benefit, for others.

I'm gonna wear the DAL "I've been vaccinated" pin they gave me on my uniform instead of a BLM pin.

At the rate we are vaccinating, this summer will be “the summer of George”

If I want to wear both pins, which one goes higher on the lapel?
Has Delta published an order of precedence for SJW flair?

Its not a pin, but I have a sticker. I also have a card. Does that threaten you? Do you feel it’s a hostile environment? Would that flair, that has zero attack against you, make you feel so worried you’d have to lash out at your coworkers?

Also, “fo sho” is the correct vernacular.

If I am now responsible for other people’s health, you better be ready for fat shaming, me knocking the cigarettes out of your hand, and hectoring to live a healthier lifestyle.....

Absolutely. The good news is that you won't have to do that as the nanny state government that is all knowing and all powerful will do it for you.

They boarded 100% back to front on the airplane, so paying extra to be towards the front meant full overhead bin space before you got on board. If I had paid good money to fly Delta and then connect onto the JV airline, I’d be ticked to no end for the dramatic drop off in space and service for a much more expensive ticket. Mind you, this is a JV that has no issues flying the newest and largest WB airplanes in and out of our hubs, while flying Delta coded tickets

As a pilot for the afore-not-mentioned airline, I can tell you that it was no fun, pre-pandemic, seeing seventeen Delta widebodies per day land at our hub (in a city of 1.5 million), either. The moveable curtain is a bit of a joke, granted, but it’s been there for years and you need to realize that the typical connecting flight is an hour in a B737, not DTW-FLL in a clapped-out RJ. The customers do not seem to be ticked to no end, and in fact the JV has been a money-making machine for everyone involved for more than 20 years now.
