Maybe "Brandon" was the name of the lead flight attendant? Probably not but worth a shot.Unsurprisingly, management is not amused
A Southwest pilot is under investigation for the divisive phrase 'Let's go, Brandon'
The airline said it will address the situation with the pilot and that it doesn't condone employees sharing personal political opinions while working or tolerate behavior that leads to divisiveness.www.npr.org
I'm sure there was a lot of public interest so management had to say something.
The Let's Go Brandon was an inside joke for a little bit, but everyone knows the SWA pilot said "Fuck Joe Biden" over the PA system during a flight, so...yes. Requires a response.
Maybe it was the kid on the push tug and he was simply saying let's go ?
Yep. Even if there someone on the flight named Brandon or the pilot was a NASCAR fan I'm sure management doesn't appreciate the media attention when they just got out of the media hotseat.
In today's climate I would guess of the population 30% liked what he said, 30% hated what he said, and 40% believe he should have thought more about what he was doing. There are things we would like to say or do, but realize thinking about it and doing it are 2 different things.
Some AP reporter claims that what was said.

It is right to be initially suspicious. But there is nothing to suggest it wasn't said. It has been a few days. Where are the passengers correcting the record? The source and coincidence of her presence makes me initially suspicious. But I absolutely can imagine it being said. Holy cow, what sport of pilots are you flying with?
Yup, the response should be "We agree, Fuck Joe Biden and his stupidity!"
Same. I've been all over the midwest IFR in the last week. Its constant. Now animal noises on Guard - that's way down!!
