JetBlue under fire for pro-Trump message: 'Last time I choose your airline' [View all]

By Nicole Charky-Chami

A passenger flying from Los Angeles to Palm Beach, Florida, on Monday was shocked to hear a JetBlue employee thanking President Donald Trump during a special President's Day in-flight message on the plane.

Photographer James Weir posted his reaction to the announcement on JetBlue Flight 2010 on Threads, describing the moment an airline flight attendant tried to show gratitude for the Trump administration — and why he found it so outrageous.

"@jetblue The fact that the pilot or flight attendant chose to begin the flight by specifically thanking President Trump and his cabinet for all that they do means this will be the last time I choose your airline," Weir wrote.
