Okuthunyelwe kwangempela akusesidlangalaleni, njengoba ummangali uguqule izilungiselelo ze-akhawunti yakhe waba yimodi yobumfihlo. Ngokwezithombe-skrini ezithwetshuliwe, usole umshayeli wendiza “ngokubonisa … inkulumo-ze yobugwala” ngenkathi egqoke umfaniswano futhi wathi yena nabanye abagibeli bacasukile ukubona isitikha ngaphambi kwendiza.
Umgibeli uphinde wafaka izithombe eziningi njengobufakazi.
Ephendula ku-tweet ethukuthele mayelana nesithombe, American Airlines' I-akhawunti esemthethweni ibonge owesifazane okhalazayo ngokuletha ezindlebeni zenkampani futhi yamcela ukuba abathumele ku-DM ngemininingwane eyengeziwe.
Ngaphambi kokwenza i-akhawunti yakhe ibe yimfihlo, lo wesifazane uthumele athi kwakuyimiyalezo eyimfihlo abashintshana ngayo American Airlines. Kulezo, umgibeli, ngokusobala “oyilungu elisezingeni elicokeme” uthe isitikha siseka “ukuvukela umbuso kukahulumeni wethu/umongameli ohleli” futhi wezwakalisa ukukhathazeka ngokuphepha kwakhe ngesikhathi sindiza umshayeli wendiza.
American Airlines wamqinisekisa ukuthi "kuzokwenzeka isibuyekezo sangaphakathi esifanele."
Inkulumo ethi 'Asambe u-Brandon' yenziwe yaduma njengelungelo elikhulu esikhundleni senhlamba eqondiswe kumongameli okhona wase-US kusukela ngoSepthemba odlule.
Iningi labantu likubona njengokucasula kakhulu futhi kuyinkomba ye-radicalism. Umlobeli we-AP waba sematheni ngasekupheleni kuka-Okthoba, lapho ekhononda ku-Twitter ukuthi a I-Southwest Airlines umshayeli wendiza wamukele abagibeli nge-'Asambe Brandon' ngaphambi kokusuka.
U-Asha Rangappa uphequlule:
“Njengesivivinyo, ngingathanda ukuthi umshayeli wendiza we-@SouthwestAir athi “I-ISIS bukhoma” ngaphambi kokusuka. Ukuqagela kwami ukuthi 1) indiza izomiswa ngokushesha; 2) umshayeli wendiza uxoshiwe; kanye 3) nesitatimende esikhishwe inkampani yezindiza phakathi nendaba yamahora.”
Abantu abaningi baqhathanisa ukubingelela komshayeli wendiza nokubingelela komsekeli wobuphekula.
I-Southwest Airlines yabeka umshayeli wayo ngaphansi kophenyo, yathi ayikukhuthazi ukuziphatha “okwehlukanayo noma okucasulayo” kwabasebenzi, kodwa yenqaba ukuphawula ngomuntu ohililekile.
