Southwest said in a statement that the airline “takes pride in providing a welcoming, comfortable, and respectful environment” and that “behavior from any individual that is divisive or offensive is not condoned.”
Veteran GOP ad maker Jim Innocenzi had no qualms about the coded crudity, calling it “hilarious.”
“Unless you are living in a cave, you know what it means,” he said. “But it’s done with a little bit of a class. And if you object and are taking it too seriously, go away.”
Trump hasn’t missed the moment. His Save America PAC now sells a $45 T-shirt featuring “Let’s go Brandon” above an American flag. One message to supporters reads, “#FJB or LET’S GO BRANDON? Either way, President Trump wants YOU to have our ICONIC new shirt.”

SWA are the cowboys of the airline industry and take great pride in how conservative and “Texan” they are. This is just another example.
Needless to say, it’s not something I’ll be saying ever. I doubt SWA will say a damned thing. They’ve got enough problems over there right now!
Just finished 787 Captain school and the last thing I need to be doing right now is making unprofessional, derogatory PAs about anyone or anything, let alone the President! Then again, a SWA pilot will never have this job, so maybe he doesn’t care. He’s probably unvaxxed, too!
Can’t fix stoopid!
I guess this is where we are in America now.
That fella walking around with “The End Is Nigh” sandwich boards was bound to be right sooner or later!

Lot of airplay about boycotts and cancellations over this. More point-to-point flights within good ol' liberal CA than any other airline. I fly them periodically for in-state hops (or LAS/PHX/PDX) because OAK is equidistant to my house from SFO and has fewer delays typically. But had a recent business mtg in SNA all fouled up on account of one of those delay issues and that was pretty frustrating cuz I'd always rather fly you lot. BTW, last SFO/EWR leg I flew was the early am one -- 787. Was listening for the British accent on the PA but alas (and sounds like I was a little early -- congrats on school!)Southwest said in a statement that the airline “takes pride in providing a welcoming, comfortable, and respectful environment” and that “behavior from any individual that is divisive or offensive is not condoned.”

What did you make better Obama?
Funding more wars on foreign lands?
Militarising the police, maybe? Or addressing qualified immunity?
Bailing out banks with taxpayer money whilst allowing the same taxpayer to lose their homes?
Any significant wage rises on your watch?
Any health policy that was yours and not Romney's?
What about clean water in places like Flint that STILL don't have it?
Wait, I've heard this before under the guise of 'Vote Blue, no matter Who'.
'It can be better'??
This fucking guy...!!

That’s some seriously good whataboutism!
Did you miss the intervening FOUR YEARS OF PRESIDENTIAL BRILLIANCE?!
And, lest you forget, we do not have a Dictator in the USA, nor is it a Parliamentary system, where you can ram almost anything through.
Obama had a Democratic Congress for FORTY FOUR DAYS, and managed to get The Affordable Care Act passed via procedural moves, because the Reps were bound and determined to make him a one term President. They failed, and then became even more vindictive.
Biden has a 50-50 Senate, where the Minority Leader has, once again, VOWED no assistance, and a very slim House majority.
Give it a week before you claim nothing is happening.
Oh, and your exhortations are “interesting” to say the least. I’m sorry the world isn’t the dictatorship you’d like…where you are the dictator…but I’m glad we have a system of checks and balances, even when it doesn’t go exactly as “the good guys” want. The good guys aren’t always the ones in power…as you’re quickly learning in England!

I think this is the most enjoyable part of the denial for Democrats.
Besides the USUAL nonsense of 'Russia! Russia! Russia!' how do you think Trump ended up sat on the Hot Seat?
I would, actually, LOVE a real answer besides excuses.

I think you've lost it. If "Let's Go, Brandon" is right wing code, and you embrace it, I really have no idea what you expect from a Democrat president wth no guaranteed majority.
This thread used to be educational for those of us watching the USA from afar. It's now just Bigga against the world.

Asked a simple question and funnily enough, it's skipped over.
It's the usual deflection trick.
As for "educational"? Don't make me laugh!!

Absolutely. Starting to get back in the saddle now that the world is opening up. Was so great to be in NYC for a few days and catch up with people I hadn’t seen for nearly two years. Praying to have a normalish 22!Smidge early, I’m afraid. Got to do a couple of international flights with a check airman before they set me free!
