An American Airlines flight attendant is looking for advice on leaving, because they are embarrassed to work for the company.

A flight attendant on American Airlines flight 4907 from Aspen to Dallas was photographed by a passenger while wearing a Palestinian flag pin. This is quickly spreading across Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and Reddit.

Flight attendants have grueling multi-day trips, and they can’t wait for their bags at baggage claim between flights or they’d risk delaying other flights (and passengers!). On the other hand, if nothing happens to change their trip sequence they could check their bag to that night’s destination! The airline might lose their bags… just like with a passenger.

An American Airlines passenger found that a chld took the aisle seat he says he paid extra for, and had words with the family over it – but a flight attendant seems to have come down on the family’s side.
