American Airlines allows crew to wear ‘BLM’ pin, sparking backlash from some members. American will soon need a “get woke go broke” pin. Perhaps they should file for bankruptcy now and get ahead of things.
But the announcement has prompted pushback from some of American’s staffers who have relatives who are police officers and view BLM as an anti-police movement.
“I take offense to this,” one flight attendant said to airline management in an email obtained by The New York Post. “Serious offense. My husband is a LEO (Law Enforcement Officer), as was my deceased father and as far as I’m concerned ALL LIVES MATTER.”
“I am completely disgusted at the fact that we can’t show support for our GOD, our COUNTRY, our LEOs but when it comes to BLM organization (which is controversial in itself), American Airlines says that’s obviously different,” she wrote. “How is that right? Well, I don’t feel included.”
Another flight attendant who spoke to Fox News said that if the BLM pins are allowed, then they will be wearing their Trump pin to show support for the commander-in-chief.

We flew to Kali 2 weeks ago on Southwest.
No BLM shit, but they are complete assholes with the mask thing.
It's also given them an excuse to stop serving anything but little cups of ice water, which actually requires more handling than a can of soda.
You have to wear a mask the whole flight unless you're eating, so I made sure I had plenty to eat and drink on the plane.
Funny how they insist you social distance when boarding, when you have to sit 18" in front and behind other passengers. I was boarding with my wife and the douche scanning boarding passes yelled at me to keep 6' distance. When I said "This is my wife" she said "I don't care, it's for my safety too".
Some of these people are real assholes.
Coronavirus has been a giant excuse for self-righteousness on the part of liberals across the country. It's weird the things liberals worship. They are literally worshipping a fake pandemic, like crazy people. You can't talk to them about the facts, you can't recite to them the statistics, you can't point out that even the CDC's own numbers show it's all baloney. They don't want to hear it. It's a matter of blind faith to them, it has to be a horrible pandemic so they can blame it all on Trump.
Here's a story told to me by an acquaintance:
So I go into a restaurant without a mask, as usual. Fuck all if I'm gonna wear a mask for twenty feet until I get to my table and then take it off, like everybody else. That's just stupid and I refuse to participate in mass stupidity. Anyway, some guy sitting at his table WITHOUT A MASK tells me I'm supposed to wear a mask while I walk to my table. I stopped and looked at him for a moment, and then pointed out that not one single person in the whole restaurant was wearing a mask, including the wait staff who were wearing masks pulled down below their noses which is pretty much like putting a condom on your finger during sex. He comes back with, "The rules are the rules." So I said, "Ok, bud, you win," and pulled out the special mask I keep in my pocket just for guys like him. It's white with two big black capital letters: "F. U." Works every time. Two tables of diners applauded and the restaurant owner bought me a drink.
LMAO. They're nuts around here. I see morons alone in their cars wearing masks, people walking by the house alone wearing masks. They have no fucking clue.
Aren't you in California?
It's crazy there. You literally have to wear a mask any time you leave your house! Walking across a parking lot or even on the beach, you have to wear a mask!
LOL!!!
I know what you mean. I actually saw a guy alone in his car wearing a mask and face shield!
Why would airlines…
Encourage passengers to have a Big Laxative Movement on an airplane,
It could plug up the crapper and make it unusable by other passengers,
The only part of the flight which will be memorable is the plugged toilet.
When are these stupid CEOs going to realize that making leftwing political statements is NOT GOOD FOR BUSINESS?
Hey AA, your business is flying people where they want to go, not rioting in the streets. So stop with the BLM crap that will only piss off many of your customers and instead try to figure out how to put a couple more peanuts in those tiny little bags. And how about some leg room for those of us who aren't midgets?
They all think they are smarter than the rest of us because they are in charge, a common problem with big business...and they are scared shitless of Blood, Loot, Murder, and the anti panti squad.
Exactly!!! When the average American stick up our "hello finger" to all these businesses and CEOs for their ignorant decisions and cowardice, they will realize that majority are fed up with such BS from the radical pansies that pretend to be such bad asses.
I have learned through the years, its the quite man in the corner you best fear most. For they are planning just how much pain they are going to inflict and when to start.
We all know what’s going to happen when the numbers under the double - on the Balance sheet are all red. “Bail us out we’re vital to the US”.
If this turns out to be the case, I won't be booking any more flights with American Airlines until they get rid of their new policy. I will also be passing this info on to other frequent flyers that I know and hope you do the same.
