      XPost: alt.politics.nationalism.black, rec.aviation.misc, alt.politics.trump       XPost: sac.politics, talk.politics.guns       From: ban-dei@sfchronicle.com              An Alaska Airlines crew member says she was fired after posting a video of       herself twerking in uniform.              She said she posted the video on TikTok to celebrate the end of her       probation period.              Alaska Airlines didn't comment on the incident but said it holds all staff       to "high standards for conduct."              An Alaska Airlines flight attendant says she was fired after posting a       video on social media of her twerking in an aircraft cabin.              Nelle Diala uploaded the dancing clip to TikTok in late November alongside       a caption describing herself as a "ghetto bih."              "Don't let the uniform fool you," she added. It has since garnered more       than 90,000 views and thousands of likes.              In the video, she wears an Alaska Airlines uniform while dancing to the       song "Ghetto" by musician E.K.E.              Since her apparent dismissal, Diala has launched a GoFundMe page, on which       she detailed the incident that led to her firing.              Diala explained that she posted the video to her personal social media       account to celebrate the end of her six-month probation period. She said       she filmed the video at 6 a.m. while waiting for the plane's pilots to       arrive.              Diala said the airline told her she had violated its social media policy       and that she was terminated without notice or an investigation.              "Although it was a poor decision on my behalf I didn't think it would cost       me my dream job," she wrote.              "I explained that the video wasn't intended to harm anyone or the company,       but they didn't want to listen."              Diala described losing her job as "devastating." As of Friday, her       GoFundMe had raised just over $2,000.              Alaska Airlines told Business Insider it did not comment on personnel       matters: "We hold all flight attendants to high standards for conduct and       guest care. All new flight attendants are subject to probationary periods,       just like all Alaska Airlines employees."              Diala did not respond to a request for comment from BI.              https://www.businessinsider.com/alaska-airlines-flight-attendant-tiktok-       twerking-video-fired-2025-1              --- SoupGate-DOS v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
