I hope you are wrong. I can't imagine working with him or the public knowing that he was flying a jet.

I m going to be honest, prior to this week I had no idea who Charlie Kirk was, I also had no idea the name of the LAX LEC vice chairman was. As of Friday Friday evening I know both of these things.
I still don't really know much about Charlie Kirk other than the news has called him a "right wing activist" or a "conservative activist"......so let me ask you if a "left wing activist" was assassinated, and an LEC rep posted something similar as AS..........do you think they'd ever fly a plane with a blue globe on it again?..........
I think WE ALL know the answer to that question, so I don't see why the outcome should differ.

Kirk’s stance and any stance allowing unfettered and unrestricted use of the 2nd amendment puts you, me, very ironically him at greater risk of getting unnecessarily murdered by someone who has no record with a gun. Until many of you can realize that there are far to many guns in the US, acts like this will continue to happen.
A particular type of weapon is not the problem. Just ask Iryna Zarutska's family if she'd still be alive if for a ban on firearms.

He'd never fly again. There is a double standard. Leftists called for Trump to be burned, killed, and numerous other things his entire first term and none of them were removed from Twitter. Milo said one of the women in Ghostbusters was a terrible actress and called her an "Ape"and he was permanently banned immediately. There are two standards and we all know it.

Name a single other ‘western’ nation that has outlawed guns where things like this happen. To pretend like our culture in this country as well as the lax laws around firearms do not contribute to the problem is insane.
There’s a happy medium somewhere but neither side is actively looking to find it.

I will never fly with Andrew. More importantly, how could anyone fly with this guy knowing that he may hate everything about you and want you ‘un-alived’? I’m not willing to take that risk (and neither should UAL).

So just to be clear the official United Airlines and ALPA stance is to honor, defend and lionize the person who said “If I see a Black pilot, I’m going to be like, boy, I hope he’s qualified.” (– The Charlie Kirk Show, 23 January 2024), but if you speak out against that person you will be fired?
Make it make sense!
Make it make sense!
The context is that he's saying OTHER people will think that. He immediately says after saying this when asked about what he though about this Kirk says "that's not who I am. That's not what I believe."
He then says "it also creates unhealthy thinking patterns. I don't wanna think that way. And no one should"
If you have listened to him at all you'd know none of this is true. He's just not super left, so obviously he's a "white supremacist" LOL.
Taxes are too high? Must be a white supremacist.
Government is too big? Also white supremacy
Voter ID. Clearly white supremacy.
