A Spirit Airlines passenger at Tampa International Airport was booted from his flight Sunday because he objected to a button worn by a black flight attendant that said, “Black Lives Matter, White Supremacy Kills.” “I said to her, ‘All lives matter,” passenger Robert Coyle told Tampa’s WTVT-13. “And she said, ‘I disagree with you. I disagree with you on so many levels.’ And then she went into some sort of memorized, ‘I really can’t speak politically while I am in uniform.'” That’s when Coyle took a photo of the button. The attendant said the picture violated airline rules and asked to see it. Coyle said he agreed to delete the image, but the woman interrupted her safety demonstration to demand that the pilot escort Coyle off the plane. Coyle recovered the image and shared it with WTVT-13. “No company should allow that to happen,” he said, “unless they are willing to accept the consequences for that happening.” The news station reported that Spirit Airlines said the attendant violated its policy against political, religious or inflammatory messages on its uniforms. “They offered Coyle undisclosed restitution and took undisclosed disciplinary action on the unidentified flight attendant, who’d been with the airline 14 months,” WTVT-13 reported. Coyle said he’s content with Spirit’s response. “If you have something offensive on your uniform, you are going to offend customers,” he said. “And customers pay the bills.” Spirit released the following statement to the news station: Spirit Airlines is proud of a diverse workplace with team members of many different backgrounds and beliefs.

The leftists are arrogant and dangerous. Totally obnoxious.
Our nation tore itself apart once before, beginning that conflict with about 34 million people (white, black, North, South).
Four years later, 600,000 soldiers (both sides) were dead along with 2,800,000 other citizens who died as a result of combat operations. (starvation, disease etc.)
That is why we have erupted yet.
Like “Midway” I always thought “Spirit” was a bad name for an airline.
One side is all talk, except for a handful of paid agitators, with whom the police should deal harshly.
She has racial immunity.
Everlast.
She got one.
Meaning nothing
Not to forget all the fragile arrangements that our modern style of life depends upon. We aren’t used to eating and crapping with the bears.
People in glass houses will usually not throw stones hard enough to hit the walls.
Tyranny of the minority.
Goodell is an idiot.
The captain is an a$$hole, too.
He and the flight attendant should be fired.
I hope the passenger sues the airline.
Too bad he didn’t ask her “Whose life doesn’t matter?”
That is where I say such companies should suffer death by marketplace.
Wright supremacy comes to aviation — read all about it.
Note to self: never fly Spirit Airlines. I don’t even want to think about what Spirit cooks for the onboard meals.
Pretty sure she wouldn’t save a white person if something happened. Spirit needs to FIRE her ass.
