Audio of his in-flight announcement was posted on TikTok as a video with subtitles. What’s more, this Southwest pilot, who is now facing getting suspended or fired, or worse, subjected to the treatment that the Left reserves for dissenters, may not even have said “Let’s Go Brandon” at all. This allegedly heartwarming incident got a glowing write-up in Insider, and there wasn’t a whisper from Southwest about how “public expression of personal opinions while on duty is unacceptable.” The passenger turned out to be Doug Parker, the CEO of American Airlines (who was apparently flying Southwest because he couldn’t get a seat on a plane flown by his own airline).
Well, that’s just fantastic, but it’s hard to imagine that Southwest would have issued the same statement, much less initiated an investigation, if a pilot had concluded his greeting to the passengers with “Black Lives Matter.” In fact, in May 2020, a Southwest flight attendant got into a long conversation with a passenger over a book he was reading, Robin DiAngelo’s racist white-guilt propaganda tome White Fragility. Southwest does not tolerate any behavior that encourages divisiveness, as it does not reflect the Southwest Hospitality and inclusiveness for which we are known and strive to provide each day on every flight. Southwest is conducting an internal investigation into the recently reported event and will address the situation directly with any Employee involved while continuing to remind all Employees that public expression of personal opinions while on duty is unacceptable. Southwest does not condone Employees sharing their personal political opinions while on the job serving our Customers, and one Employee’s individual perspective should not be interpreted as the viewpoint of Southwest and its collective 54,000 Employees. Southwest, facing the potential ire of the authoritarian and intolerant Leftist media machine, on Sunday issued the usual protestations of ideological purity: One minor detail, however, could derail the whole high-tech lynching before it gets much farther: The pilot may not even have said “Let’s go, Brandon” at all. Long immediately stormed down the aisle and demanded to be let into the locked cockpit, which led, she claims, to her “almost get removed from plane.” But the pilot may be in even more trouble, as Southwest has (predictably) bowed to the outrage mob and launched an internal investigation into his wrongthink.
