Speak your mind as a citizen, not an employee, and you're under investigation.

But Captain Instagram can push products and criticize flight crews while in uniform, and nothing?

I just read the linked story which included people giving examples in their complaints of his supposed transgressions. Nothing I saw said "I'm an American pilot and I think..." and certainly nothing so offencible I'd consider "fireable". Also read comments to the article (until I got bored and moved on) thinking there'd be some sort of contingent of posters saying there's more there there. I don't think I read a single poster that sided against him.

I think his opponents defined “attacking children and people of color” as holding a different opinion than and even refuting specious or debatable statements made by those advocating for the program.

By not accepting and affirming their assertions of victimhood he apparently committed “micro aggressions” against them.

He should instead have “validated their feelings” rather than telling them his, because, you know, the ‘marketplace of ideas’ is in reality ‘an unsafe space.’

He should do all the young guys a favor and just retire. Then he can do all the $&@? talking he wants and no one gets their feelings hurt. More time to tell us how he reeeallyyyy feels.

Maybe we’re looking at the next Alex Jones.

The people who lost by a landslide are trying to find any little bit of leverage on the guy to ruin his life, for daring to not conform to their viewpoints. Then he has other pilots badgering him on the internet, saying "Just do us all a favor, old man, and quit! Nobody wants you here anyway!"

Self-censor or lose your job: great fun!
