Two Delta Air Lines flight attendants seen in a social media post wearing pins depicting the Palestinian flag caused an online uproar, a rogue response from a Delta employee and a change to the company’s uniform policy. The image, reposted on Wednesday, showed the flight attendants in a plane aisle with small Palestinian flag pins affixed to their uniforms. The post characterized the pins as “Hamas badges.” The post prompted a wave of criticism on social media aimed at the airline. Soon after the images were published, the official Delta account on X responded in solidarity. “I hear you as I’d be terrified as well, personally,” read the comment. Soon after, Delta’s reply was gone. “On Wednesday, we removed a reply that was not in line with our values,” Delta said on social media. “We strive for an environment of inclusivity & respect for all, in our communities & our planes. The employee responsible no longer supports Delta’s social channels. We apologize for this hurtful post.”
