Prime Example...

... of corporate stupidty. The blogs and photos are by no <br />standard indecent, or inappropriate for the blog. Delta made a <br />massively stupid mistake to fire the stewardess for these items. <br />There may be more to the story that might justify Delta's <br />actions. If so, Delta had better get the message out before the <br />manangement comes across as total idiots. Considering Delta's <br />financial shape, however, maybe they are.

Plain stupidity

You know what all employers try to do these days? Just look at who they can fire to save costs. So posting sexy pictures in your uniform is like asking for it.

Give me a break

They fired her for this??? I've seen more scandalous pictures than that in my high school yearbook. Delta may have the right to fire her but the rest of us have the right to heap ridicule on these prudes.

yeah but

I agree what the company did was outrageous, but not as much as hiring her. I am all for equal rights, but dang, she is not pretty, at all.

also

Anyone who writes blogs should stop. No one cares that your last dump was good, or that you took a nap. <br /><br />Blogging is the modern equivilent to CB radios.

good for delta

when hired you are given rules about appropriate activities in uniform,(whether it is delta or any other airline). that was definetly a no-no..and acting like she didn't know is no excuse...good for Delta...
