Airline Employees Still Wearing "Let's Go Brandon" Pins

Pilots tend to be more conservative than flight attendants, overall. So after NASCAR driver Brandon Brown at Talladega Speedway on October 2, and a reporter mistook the crowd chanting “F- Joe Biden” as “Let’s Go Brandon!” the slogan took on a life of its own… in the cockpit.

It was still going on over air traffic control at the end of the year, and it should have died out by December.

I was surprised to see it in the cabin on American Airlines.

Hey @AmericanAir, is it employee policy to be allowed to wear Let’s Go Brandon merch in uniform? Thought we already had this talk, guys… AA 1391 MIA-STT pic.twitter.com/KcJOvrrAFD

The problem here is that Let's Go Brandon has become more of a political show than a political show. It's 2021. It's a way of saying I'm 8 months behind the meme if you wear a Let's Go Brandon pin.

We already did this one to death, when a passenger recently had a page for American Airlines.

Six years ago, a United Airlines pilot told everyone to keep politics off the plane. People cheered. No matter what you think about the President of the United States or the silly meme, there are some places where we should be left alone. You can't escape politics if you're stuck in a metal tube.

The American Airlines flight attendant was not following the rules. The cabin crew can wear approved pins. There is a process for adding more of them. This isn't approved flair.

In airlines.

A passenger was kicked off of Delta Air Lines for wearing a hoodie. He took off the hoodie, but was removed before he left because of mask compliance issues. The man may have tried the less offensive "Let's Go Brandon" instead.

In passengers.

A flight attendant kicked off a mother and her two year old child who wouldn't keep their mask on after a 40 minute delay on the American Airlines flight from Key West to Miami. The whole planeload of passengers was off loaded.
