A lot of people got fired yesterday and today for similar rants. Hopefully this douche gets canned and never works again.

And the Leftists are always the ones saying how hateful and violent the Right are. Gimme a break.

What a vile creep.

I didn't know too much of Charlie Kirk, but from what I saw, I was impressed. I think he was unfairly labeled, but I wasn't and won't dive into every statement he made to prove one point or the other. I certainly wouldn't portray the late Mr Kirk as a Nazi.
The problem here is that praising the assassination of anyone is reprehensible and, IMHO, a sign of mental issues. Which is grounds for removal of his medical. Germanwings comes to mind.

Now, we all have little demons in our heads that sometimes are in the forefront of our thoughts. But as pilots, we are held to a higher standard than the general public and are expected to keep our 'fecal matter' together. Put another way, be able to stow all of our baggage underneath the seat in front of us. If a pilot has difficulty controlling those demons, they would be well served to not post on the internet.

No matter which side of the political spectrum one resides, violence and the praise of violent actions is unacceptable.

Let this young man's actions serve as a lesson for all of us. Don't let hate consume you. Be smart, be safe, and consider calling/telling your loved ones that you love them..

Appalled, as usual, that the Facebook United Pilot Forum removed the post discussing this guy. I don't know how people are expected to learn from the mistakes of others if they don't know what is going on.

You mean where AS said CK was a Nazi and the only good Nazi is a dead Nazi? Glad the company doesn’t share your views. Dude deserves to be fired. If not for what he said, for just having absolute 0 common sense.

Milo has nothing to do with the post other than exposing it. The fact is that Andrew Schweitzer posted something outrageous. Political violence can never be normalized.

A father and husband was shot for having a different political opinion and having the courage to discuss issues. In no world is that ok. I don’t care what side of the fence you are politically. To say otherwise makes you part of the problem, not the solution.

Are you serious?! The guy would take a mic to people who disagreed with him and debated them....

Now... go look at Charlie Kirk's videos, watch them in entirety and not left-wing edited clips and tell me where he advocated for anything remotely as evil as you claim. Just because someone disagrees with your views DOES NOT make them divisive, white nationalist, or evil. On the other hand.......... look at what you're saying.

yup nothing to see here folks.

Milo has a black boyfriend. Kinda odd behavior for a “white nationalist”.

The guardian, good grief…

Just curious... did you ever bother to see the context of every last one of those quotes? Yeah... willing to bet you don't have a clue, do you?

If you think these things are offensive does that mean that him getting killed was okay? Please put your employee number in your reply.

putting words in others mouth a lot like the white nationalist.

Nobody said that, but this is an important time to reflect on violent political discourse and folks like Kirk’s contributions to the charged environment.

They asked you a question, no one put words in your mouth. Answer the question.

Ironically, justifying the murder of someone because of their beliefs is the exact kind of thing fascists do.

And Communists.

A few bullet points from the ALPA Code of Ethics

• They will realize that they represent the airline to all whom meet them, and will at all times keep their personal appearance and conduct above reproach.
• They will be a good citizen of their country, state and community, taking an active part in their affairs, especially those dealing with the improvement of aviation facilities and the enhancement of air safety.
• They will conduct all their affairs in a manner which reflects credit on themselves and their profession.
• They will not publish articles, give interviews, or permit their name to be used in any manner likely to bring discredit to another pilot, the airline industry, the profession or to ALPA.

I haven't always lived up to the code, but I do try.


United sent out a priority message today titled: Social media guidelines reminder
It doesn't take much to connect the dots on why it was sent.

If your demons take over and you can't help yourself to make vitriolic comments, log off and do something else. You could do long term damage to your career.

Andew said "the only good kind of Nazi is a dead Nazi" then you said " I don’t see anything remotely unhinged incorrect or offensive."

this is a mental illness and we all know the three letter abbreviation.

it was already answered in my original comment. You guys should learn to read.

lol pilots are stupid. Just śtfu and fly the airplane.

100ft “Autopilot On”.

You should learn how to be a good human being.

Andrew said " the only good Nxxi is a dead Nxxi" then you said,. "If really him, I don’t see anything remotely unhinged incorrect or offensive." In every possible way his post and your reply are unhinged, incorrect, and offensive.

Actions have consequences. I am sure Andrew will be suspended for a bit and will end up keeping his job. He’s an ALPA status rep and will have a lot of resources to help defend him. His comments along with others on the left are uneducated and quite disgusting.

Yes, this wouldn’t have happened if guns were illegal. Guess we should make murder illegal too and maybe this wouldn’t have happened.

Nice cliche. There is plenty of data pointing out that the number of guns is clearly a problem.

Not true. He was married to a black guy for heaven's sake. He's a conservative. You just label everyone you don't agree with as a "known white nationalist".

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

This is AIRLINE PILOT CENTRAL and The Title of this Thread is NOT: Charlie Kirk good or Bad? It's: LAX rep social media rant.......and thats kinda why we are talking about it

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.

The UK outlawed firearm ownership (except in certain circumstances). Google 'Ronan's Law' to see where banning firearms leads.
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.

It is not a cliche at all. Show all your data.

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.

Interesting username choice.

I own several firearms, support the second amendment, have gone hunting, have a CCW, and am a member of the ‘special club’, but when I hear this argument I can’t help but cringe because it’s insanely obtuse and intellectually dishonest.

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.

Remember how we stopped the drug epidemic by making drugs illegal?

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).

TAKEN OUT OF CONTEXT. Just like Trump called white supremacists "very fine people".

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.
