In other news....I understand the Nobel Committee is adding a new prize category for those who have accomplished the greatest virtue signaling in pin wear without actually having to do anything.

Its something we all can aspire to achieve.
Now, it's up to you whether or not you want to just do the bare minimum. Well, like Brian, for example, has 37 pieces of flair. And a terrific smile.

I mean, this doesn’t really seem like the place to talk about it, but apparently...
I am not here to argue the politics of it...simply the fact that Ed spent money on a controversial political program when we are laying people off. There ARE people out there who think BLM is a front for the Liberal and Socialist agenda. And it will pizz them off and maybe they will go elsewhere to fly. I am not here to argue that point or agree or disagree with you. The point I am getting at is why run the risk of alienating any customers over politics? Especially to spend money in support of an agenda that is controversial while we are so cash strapped that we have to lay off pilots? Just don’t spend any money on it, or any other political agendas.

I saw you said you don’t post here, well I think I prob got you beat in lurker land if there was said competition, 291 posts in 9 years...

for what’s its worth, of course black lives matter, so do blue, and white, and brown, and tan and literally every race, color and creeds....all lives matter dude.

peace out.

Seems like good test. You wear it on the red line I'll wear it on the orange, and we'll see who makes it back to the loop. Loser buys the beer.

You are on. Orange is easy-peasy, but DAL don't stop there any more, so's I been dragging around on Allegiant. (MDW-TYS)

Oh, it is a fact that the BLM organization funnels money to many, many democrats. So yes, it is a political organization.

Thanks for that correction. BLM and the Democratic party share in the use of Act Blue as a fundraising platform. BLM doesn't fund the Democrats, they just align their fundraising efforts on the same platform.
