Delta flight attendant fired for Kirk-related social post speaks out

But Palmer, a longtime flight attendant who sees himself as a Delta loyalist, can’t accept how he was fired for it.

The Atlanta Journal Constitution reports Delta Air Lines fired its trained brand ambassador for sharing a negative opinion about MAGA influencer Charlie Kirk.

“Good riddance,” wrote former employee Mathew Palmer last September of Kirk.

Palmer, who is gay, had little sympathy Kirk, who described transgender individuals as an “abomination” and a “throbbing middle finger to God.” Kirk also opined that American society should have “just took care of” transgender people “the way we used to take care of things in the 1950s and 60s,” referring to outdated practices involving lobotomy, shock therapy and involuntary institutionalization.

Delta is quietly stranding Americans overseas due to fine print

If you’ve got upcoming travel plans with Delta Airlines, you may have trouble getting home. According to View From The Wing, the airline has suddenly become more stringent about the fine print, leaving flyers in the lurch. The airline claims it's trying to protect travelers against fraud, yet in the end, Delta is charging them thousands of extra dollars to get home.

Herb Weisbaum recently wrote about his problem in Consumers’ Checkbook. The problem started when Weisbaum and his wife arrived at Heathrow Airport in London to fly back home to Seattle. They were unable to check in at the kiosk because it needed them to swipe the credit card used to book their ticket. Unfortunately, they hadn’t brought it on the trip.
