It was a recruiting event during pride month? Not sure what you don’t get about that. Way more professional then the time I walked into a plane with some BS religious propaganda attached to the CA and FO yolks. I could care less what anyone’s views are, but don’t try to spread yours by intentionally leaving stuff behind like that...goes for both sides.

What makes one more unprofessional than the other? Both are personal things that don’t belong in the workplace.

He was at a recruiting event...probably asked to bring it. That flag probably offends a small handful of people while making recruitment look good for most of the young pilots it’s targeting. If someone was leaving little rainbow flags behind every flight then yeah I would agree that it’s unprofessional.

Exactly. Do what you want on your own time, but don’t bring them to work, or an aviation forum.

Swayne just made it clear where he stands on all this.. check out his Instagram or Facebook. Sounds like he’s more on ALPAs side than many thought.

Didn't see anything on his Instagram about being on ALPA's side. In fact he took about the most neutral stance possible, basically saying he isnt changing anything. Perhaps his FB is different.

Care to elaborate for those that don't have social media?

See above. Basically he wants to inspire aviation enthusiasts etc. He didn't touch on a single aspect of what many have an issue with.

He didn't make anything clear other than he values his social media influencer clout more than his fellow pilots

Serious question: how upset are you at pilots who have a blue lives matter/blue line American flag sticker on their suitcase? You’ll probably say you’re equally upset, but I bet that, deep down, you aren’t.
