Shouldn't this be in a PM to him?

I am pretty sure that since he is not posting in official capacity as a representative of DAL, he is good to go.

Employed codes of conduct generally refer to behavior when directly representing the brand.

This is a streeeetch.

The term "fatso" offends me.

Here ya go, fatsopilot. I'd have 'spelled it out for you', but didn't want to "offend" you.

Political correctness offends me.

Somewhat political post follows... probably be pulled, but here goes:

It is amazing to me that Christians can be referred to in any number of derogatory ways, and that is sanctioned by the left. Hundreds are murdered in Egypt by peace loving muslims, and yet it is wrong to call them out on it. Ted Cruz and the Tea Party conservatives are characterized as "whackos" "terrorists" hostage takers" and "Tea Baggers" yet the height/weight disproportionate "pilot" (fatso is derogatory, isn't it?) doesn't seem to mind that moniker. It is OK to let those with a left leaning agenda spit on those folks with impunity. So tell me -height/weight challenged aviator- would you be satisfied if I apologized to all those whom I have offended? Perhaps muhammed atta while we are at it? Sorry... won't go that far. I hope he is burning in hell right now. As someone else said, why don't we take this offline?

Oh, and I do not represent Delta in any way. If that is your opinion, then you need to get a life.

And last edit: Ya'll better eat that popcorn quick, I'm not going to stoop to this idiocy any more.... Love ya, mean it.

I'm fairly certain that doesn't apply to the PWA for Delta pilots. The accessibility of the PWA is not limited to company sites.
