In response to the images, Delta's official account on X, formerly Twitter, stated: “I'm listening because I would be terrified too, personally. Our employees reflect our culture and we don't take it lightly when it's not followed our policy”.

After facing criticism for the initial response, the airline issued an apology, confirming that the employee behind the post “no longer supports Delta's social channels.”

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.
