Southwest Pilot Under Investigation After Dissing Biden With 'Let's Go Brandon' Dig On Flight

From the House floor to a Southwest Airlines flight, President Biden's critics have embraced the phrase “Let's Go Brandon." The phrase took off after a reporter at a NASCAR race mistook a crude anti-Biden chant as cheering for driver Brandon Brown. https://t.co/ToCAm75IrS

Southwest MAGA pilot says “Let's go Brandon" on the plane intercom. Then the airlines are surprised when planes turn into unruly Trump rallies. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

Southwest pilot screams out "Let's go Brandon" over the intercom. @SouthwestAir I'll be booking my future flights accordingly. RT if you won't book with Southwest Airlines unless this pilot is fired.

I'm a pilot, not for Southwest, but it is a pretty much a right wing paradise in most cockpits. Probably the best part of becoming a captain was directing the conversations away from crap like this.

Really feel bad for the flight attendants who have to deal with his comments.

If Southwest lets this stand, that is a clear message to the majority who voted for Joe Biden that they're not welcome on that airline. We'll act accordingly.

Southwest Airlines Faces Boycott Threats

Southwest Air needs to fire MAGA pilot who said “Let's Go Brandon" over Intercom. We don't need to hear our pilot is a member of Trump's death cult.
SW Air, your pilot needs to be #FIRED or you'll lose our business https://t.co/Z5YQRpSZGr

I will NEVER fly Southwest if this is true

the only way I will ever fly them again if that pilot is FIRED immediately

The fact that @SouthwestAir has not moved faster with their Brandon pilot indicates a much broader problem. My guess is many if not most of their pilots are totally ok with it and the airline is afraid the pilots will walk. Let that sink in.

If there is a job where it's CRUCIAL that the Person is mentally balanced and free of Stress, it's a commercial pilot. The guy is clearly affected and stressed enough by the political environment to make that “joke". His judgment is clouded, and it is unsafe to flight with him.

@SouthwestAir looks like it maybe time to cancel my Southwest card and find someone else to fly. Have loved your service over the years and I believe in freedom of expression but I also know not to do it in the workplace

We're not flying with any airline until vaccines are mandated for all crew and passengers. The only reason why it hasn't is to cater to antivaxxers. Why the FAA won't implement this is beyond me.
