Das rite!
Didn’t this nigga know that it is illegal to criticize the government?
This isn’t Russia, bro. We live in a vibrant democracy.
That means you can’t just go around saying bad things about the president. That’s not our values. It’s not who we are.
American Airlines (AA) went viral after responding to a Twitter user Saturday who complained about a pilot because he had a “Let’s Go Brandon” sticker on his luggage.
A Twitter user who has since made her Twitter account private took a picture of the sticker and sent it to the airline, asking if it accepts “cowardly rhetoric on their crew luggage when they’re in uniform.”
“We are not the only passengers who noticed and were disgusted,” the user added.
The official Twitter account of AA responded to the user’s public complaint, tweeting, “Thank you for bringing this to our attention and we want to get this to the right team. Please DM any additional details.”
Thank you for bringing this to our attention and we want to get this to the right team. Please DM any additional details.

The user went on to post what she claimed were direct messages with representatives for the airline, who assured her that her complaints had been forwarded to the proper authorities for internal review.
“We take this very seriously and have sent this over to crew leadership,” AA said in response to a direct message from the Twitter user who accused the pilot of displaying political propaganda supporting insurrection against the U.S. government. “They will handle this internally after review. We assure you appropriate internal review will occur.”
The complaint was met with ridicule from other users on Twitter.
I don’t think firing is enough.
This man was actively trying to spread disinformation, which could lead to death. He needs to be investigated by the FBI, at the very least, for attempting to radicalize white people.
We don’t need another January 6, folks.
We have to protect our values of democracy, because that’s who we are.
Hope he and everyone else gets a raise for having to deal with Karen passengers such as this one.

This pilot deserves a raise for dealing with entitled Karens while doing his job.

Donât fire your pilots for being conservative or criticizing Biden. We wonât have any pilots left. As if the thousands of flight cancellations arenât enough already. @AmericanAir do the right thing. https://t.co/OW1kS1KdV5

Why are you responding to this bully? Stand with your employee, not internet trolls like Dana. https://t.co/0PgJ6VDAWB
