Any employee of any large company today is in violation of social media policy if they do anything on social media which associates them with the employer, unless the activity was specifically sanctioned by the employer. How hard they will enforce that is directly proportional to how embarrassing the content is.
My previous employer extended that policy to the industry as a whole, ie anything you say about the industry in general could get you in hot water.

Our company policy is "we believe in open communication and you are encouraged to tell the world about your work and share your passion. Whether you do so by participating in a blog, wiki, online social network or any other form of online publishing or discussion is completely up to you."
The policy has a few "don't be a d*ck" clauses, but that's the norm today.

And she left her high heels at Captain Joe's after a "great night out" so now I wonder if Dutch Pilot Girl weighs 55 kg or less.

Far from truth. There are very large corporations who encourage social media participation.

Most employers are OK with you being their public fanboy if desired. A few still prefer you don't do anything of that nature at all, ie leave it to their marketing/brand professionals.
Whether something is permissible or not is in the eye of the beholder... if it's not strong-koolaid/full fanboy in nature, it might not pass muster.
Probably worth reading your employer's specific policies.

In the context of this discussion, I *assumed* everyone understood that I was talking about derogatory/non-flattering content.

In this context though, I'm not sure the mr. Chavez in question has posted anything derogatory/non-flattering?

To keep it short and sweet, the social media policy says you can't publish social media content containing anything to do with the airline or airline property unless specifically authorized. Some day when you land a job at an airline/corporation, you'll come to learn that major corporations have strict policies on individuals putting out content on social media platforms that represents not only yourself, but the corporation as well. i.e. if you make a rap video while decked out in an AA uniform and AA logos and emblems, you're representing AA in doing so. This kind of activity is strictly prohibited in the social media policy.
