United Airlines is supporting a flight attendant’s right to wear a Palestinian flag pin after she was called out on social media during a Chicago to Newark flight. The attendant also wore a keffiyeh-inspired lanyard.
"Pride," tweeted @StopAntisemites, questioning United's stance.
In response, United Airlines stated, "Our uniform policy has long included an option for flight attendants to wear flag pins to designate specific language skills so that our customers who are more comfortable in a language other than English can know who on our crew speaks their preferred language. We also allow flight attendants to wear flag pins that represent their pride in a place to which they may have a special connection."
