American Airlines on Sunday announced that it will allow their flight attendants to wear Black Lives Matter pins on their uniform while on duty. In addition, the company is also working to design its own pin that will show its symbolic support of a diverse and inclusive work environment.
Clearly we live in a time where it is so important to have a dialogue about this important issue of racism in our society and try to find common ground, AA wrote in a company-wide announcement. American is truly committed to having an inclusive culture that is welcoming to all and a reflection of our country and world. [ ]
But the announcement has prompted pushback from some of Americans staffers who have relatives who are police officers and view BLM as an anti-police movement.
I take offense to this, one flight attendant said to airline management in an email obtained by The New York Post. Serious offense. My husband is a LEO (Law Enforcement Officer), as was my deceased father and as far as Im concerned ALL LIVES MATTER. [ ]
Another flight attendant who spoke to Fox News said that if the BLM pins are allowed, then they will be wearing their Trump pin to show support for the commander-in-chief.

They have NOTHING to do with black people except the name. It's a ruse to fool people and assuage the guilt of weak, spineless white people who purport to sympathize with them.
Why are people, organizations and corporations so stupid that they feel the need to accommodate and support a domestic terrorist organization like this?
Some Americans have lost their minds and can't think for themselves anymore.
So American Airlines supports people who have been known to start fires, throw bombs, spray graffiti, and assault people of other races?
Another woke company that needs to go bankrupt.
BLM = Burn, Loot, Murder
Bet this is the work of the unions...
Hostile work environment.
So an airline puts a terrorist pin on its employees. blm would love to bring a plane down. The management of AA has its head up its exhaust pipe.
Okay, so when does the “dialogue” start?.
From what I see it’s a one way conversation.
Oh, brilliant. This is going to lead to fights on planes.
Another company on the Boycott Forever list.
AA =Anti American
So can you wear a Trump pin?
But what if their “support” frightens the white, Asian,et al. customers?
I can hear the new safety speech, “Remember, if the plane is going down, black lives matter. They will be allowed to disembark first.....no matter where they are seated.”
Don’t fly this airline.
Why aren’t we all just wearing All Lives Matter buttons and bumper stickers? We need a focal slogan, and it’s a really short argument that shows the irrationality of the other side, the fact that BLM is based on hate and promulgating conflict, not based on love and caring.
Where is a good place to go to get this stuff made up in quantity?
Good thing I never fly AA
I live in DFW, I have no choice.
As a member of the aviation community, I find American Airlines an objectionable company for this. BLM is anti-American. American Airlines should change their name to Crash, Inc. because it is obvious they value anti-American Marxist sedition over safety.
Condolences.....The car to the nearest non AA hub airport.
