Delta Airlines has come under fire for deleting a reply to a tweet complaining about flight attendants wearing Palestinian flag pins, then issuing an apology.
Earlier in the week, an X user posted a screenshot of Delta flight attendants wearing what they called “Hamas badges.”
“Since 2001 we've been taking our shoes off at every airport because of a terrorist attack on American soil. Now imagine walking into a [Delta] fly and see workers with Hamas insignia in the air. What are you doing?” the account asked Wednesday.
Initially, Delta responded in a way that appeared to be sympathetic, angering leftists. This response was quickly deleted by the company.
“I hear you as I personally would be appalled too. Our employees reflect our culture and we do not take it lightly when our policy is not followed,” wrote the airline's official account.
In its place was an apology that angered conservatives.
“On Wednesday we withdrew an answer that did not fit our values. We strive for an environment of inclusion and respect for everyone, in our communities and on our planes. The responsible employee no longer supports Delta's social channels. We apologize for the harmful post,” the post reads.
On Wednesday, we removed a response that did not align with our values. We strive for an environment of inclusion and respect for everyone, in our communities and on our planes. The responsible employee no longer supports Delta's social channels. We apologize for this painful post.

Unfortunately for Delta, neither side of the political aisle was happy with the situation or its handling.
Can you clarify “delta no longer supports social channels” what role they still have with the company? If they are not cancelled, you must reinstate the 2 flight attendants you dismissed.

I don't know who has to tell you this, but fake damage control isn't going to help you after what you've done.
In fact, it just makes you look worse. #BoycottDelta

I'm not flying with you yet. I am taking my business elsewhere.

That's good. I just want to fly and I don't want to see any political behavior from the staff. pic.twitter.com/IOIKPYvov4

Are you saying it's ok to wear the pin? Does this comply with your policies? As a Diamond Medallion flyer I am outraged and want a clear answer. Speaking for my fellow frequent flyers, this is a big deal for us.
