Delta bans other country flags on uniform
#141
I support the changes.
We aren't a multi-national flagged airline. We are an American air carrier, representing the USA to every country we enter. We have the US flag painted on each aircraft by the tail number. The roots of Delta's Red/Blue/White come from the American flag. We as crewmembers, regardless of our heritage or personal beliefs, represent Delta, and by virtue, the flagged home nation. Displaying optional emblems of the US in our uniform atire should in no way be inconsistent or controversial.
As far as the other flags, there is no need, only downsides IMO. I can't imagine crews for Air India display Pakistani flags, Egypt Air & Isreali flags, Korean Air & North Korean flags, etc. I'm sure that could cause friction. While I have no personal issue with flag pins if you're a citizen from elsewhere, I get the idea of limiting the expression for uniformity. Ex: I've flown with several awesome Russians but none wore 🇷🇺, and I get why. It's a potential source for division. I mean, if any of y'all Americans worked as an expat for another country's flag carrier, would you expect to stand-out and put emblems of the USA all over their uniform? I know I wouldn't. As a US airline, let's just represent our host country or stay neutral.

I have the BBC on in my hotel rooms oversease and it's nothing but non-stop gloom. I even used the app for a while. According to the BBC there's never been a worse time to be alive. The complete opposite of reality.

I used to be a loyal PBS Newhour watcher, but they too jumped headfirst down the woke rabbit hole in 2020. They put on a semblence of impartial rationality, but their bias is obvious.

With the pandemic, their fear-mongering was second only to CNN's.
It was the same for NPR. The day when they lose all taxpayer funding can't come soon enough.
