On Monday, POLITICO reported that Southwest Airlines has opened an investigation after reports that a pilot said "Let's Go Brandon" over the intercom during a flight from Houston to Albuquerque last Friday.

"The airline said in a statement it would 'address the situation directly with any Employee involved while continuing to remind all Employees that public expression of personal opinions while on duty is unacceptable. Southwest does not condone Employees sharing their personal political opinions while on the job serving our Customers, and one Employee's individual perspective should not be interpreted as the viewpoint of Southwest and its collective 54,000 Employees,'" said the report.

We'll did you give the "pilot" or whoever said it time off to really think about there actions....

1. What is there to investigate?

There are easily identifiable witnesses to what he said, so that investigation should take what, a couple of hours to reach enough people to verify the statement?

2. Hopefully he is terminated

And no longer employed or employable.

3. They gotta make sure there's an airtight case before they do anything.

(Do I really need a sarcasm thingy?)

5. Well since it was on a flight it was recorded

I have heard from some pilots that is not what is on tape. The flight was from Houston and the pilot said “Let’s go Braves” referring to the World Series.
