Delta Palestinian Flag Pin - Flight Attendant
« on: April 14, 2024, 07:19:52 PM »
I was just on a Delta flight (DL525) from ATL to LGA and one of the flight attendant was waring a Palestinian flag pin. It made my wife extremely uncomfortable and made for a pretty awkward flight. Seems like this should be against Delta policy in general - not to mention this is literally the day after Iran fired 300+ missiles into Israel. I'm filing a complaint with Delta but is this standard these days - it's the first I'm seeing this?

Probably better to tweet someone like Dov Hikind or Ritchie Torres that would amplify it, a lot better and quicker

Seems like this should be again Delta policy in general
Just to plan devils advocate for a minute, what policy are you referring to?

Would a Moshiach flag be ok or would you suggest that FAs should only wear corporate issued pins and nothing from a personal collection?

I'd say stay away from politics. I'm sure a "Let's Go Brandon" pin or the like wouldn't be tolerated.

I completed the online complaint form. Is there a specific email I should send it to as well?

was it the same one as @ExGingi 's
"Check-in agents at JFK were also nice (including the business class check-in agent who had an Arab name, wore Muslim style hair covering and had a Palestinian flag pin, but was super nice and helpful to us)."

Pretty sure US airlines have a policy against wearing non airline pins, with the exception of BLM pins (aka pandering).

You can’t compare EgyptAir to Delta.

Exactly. How can you compare a US airline to a middle eastern airline?   :P

Did you try to engage her in Arabic?

Usually flags worn by flight attendants indicate languages spoken.
