There’s pin-demonium brewing at American Airlines. Top brass at the nation’s largest commercial jet carrier is facing turbulence from within after it announced that flight attendants are now allowed to wear Black Lives Matter pins on their uniforms while on duty. The move has irked some of American’s white New York staffers, including those who have spouses or relatives who are cops—because they consider the BLM movement divisive and anti-police, saying it promotes or condones violence.(Snip) “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

I would think they would not only have turbulence from within, but also from their already scarce passengers! I don't fly on an airplane in order to be given a political message.

BLM is a violent anti-America Domestic Terrorist Group. Corporate supporters of BLM are desperate virtue-signalers who want to be racially "acceptable" to riot supporters. This is VERY misguided. BLM has NO interest in the murders of scores of Blacks by Blacks in Chicago. BLM's REAL agenda is the subversion of America AND Orange Man Bad. They need to be arrested en masse.

Doug Parker, you might want to have a word with your marketing department. American won't stay in business much longer with a marketing strategy like this one.

Supporting violent Marxists is not alright.
Customers should be complaining, and employees, too.

Outrageous!
In future when I travel I will diligently look for alternate means. If forced to use AA I will make sure to vocalize my displeasure at AA's cowardly virtue signalling gambit!
In the meantime, and at every chance I get, I will tell my friends, family, casual acquaintances and complete strangers what AA has done and for them to use alternate means of travel if at all possible.

American Airlines corporate wouldn't have made this decision without first considering the costs and benefits of kowtowing to BLM vs supporting the majority of its employees and customers. They chose to kowtow to a communist anarchist, anti-capitalist front organization believing that the costs to do otherwise would outweigh the benefits of supporting the system of wealth creation from which they have grown and prospered. It's up to Normal Americans to show them that they chose wrong.

American Airlines should watch this video. Appeasement doesn't work. Try kindness a different way.
Scroll down to the video. The best thing I've heard in a long time.

American (?) Airlines does not judge their employees or their customers by the content of their character. I wonder what MLK would say about the violence, rioting and looting that is being done by Black Lies Matter thugs and Antifa vermin.

Would that be the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation, the outfit that is incorporated in many states around the country? The one encouraging the riots?

Well since most of the Democrats are hiding in their basements, afraid to fly, and probably more than half of all Republicans are Trump supporters who will now evade flying on American Airlines, you don’t have to be a genius to fight out what is going to happen to their customer base.

I am dumbfounded that any airline would allow crew members to wear ANY symbols that would affiliate that employee with ANY political organization. It will only piXX off half their clients.

I wonder if American Airlines will give equal time by allowing their employees to wear Blue Live Matter paraphernalia while on duty. My guess would be no. Don't fly American or any other airline that supports the Marxist organization BLM.

I will be flying from the east coast to out west next week. Flights are booked on United. I generally pick the airline that best meets my schedule, but AA will no longer be given consideration.

Once again, an industry I would love to boycott if I hadn't already started boycotting it fifteen years ago. Airline travel was miserable then, it looks much worse now.

Suck ups and fools all.
Appeasement NEVER has and never will work - in the long run.
Disgusting.
This also puts a label ( target ?? ) on ANYONE who DOES NOT wear their silly pin.
Thanks management for your wisom.

I just flew in/out of Chicago Midway...every black worker encountered was wearing a shirt, pin or some other "decoration" of BLM. This is all about keeping the violence from your door. Who knows what might otherwise be brought upon co-workers and customers if working for a "racist" employer?

Since AA executives believe America is an irredeemably evil and racist country that ought to be torn down, shouldn't they change their name?
Two things you will never find in the C-suite of any Fortune 500 company are piety and patriotism.

Much as all woke organizations in every field think they are making a courageous decision by surrendering to the SJW agenda concerning the "minorities and the self described victimized" while at the same and suppressing the aspirations of ordinary Americans, what they are actually doing is abjectly surrendering to the vicious trouble makers while discriminating against the law abiding. They are confusing all notions of Justice with "Might and destruction is Right". In the process they are abandoning the majority which form the majority of their clientele.

Anti-American Airlines is first in line when federal bailout funds are desired, yet they proudly side with Marxist terrorists who want to see this country go down in flames. And their obscenely overpaid corporate leaders are too dense to see that BLM is merely a front group for the agitators.
