Another Fire: Queen of Sky Downed
There's another victim to the corporate blog grinder. This time, it's an attractive young lady that formerly was working as a flight attendant for Delta. Ellen Simonetti, also known as the Queen of Sky, was let go a few days ago for posting some questionably racy photos to her "Diary of a Fired Flight Attendant" blog.
It should be noted that she made her best effort to hide the name of the company she worked for, using an alias instead. Here's some coverage on the matter:
But it is Simonetti's very 21st-century activities that she says prompted Delta management to ground her, suspending her from flying in September and then firing her a month later.
Simonetti has operated a Web log since January, calling it Diary of a Flight Attendant, and said she did not hear from Delta about the site until after she posted a set of provocative photos of herself in her Delta uniform.
In one photograph, her skirt is hiked to mid-thigh as she perches along a seatback on an empty airliner. In another, she is leaning over the seats, her blouse unbuttoned, exposing part of her bra. Simonetti said she posted those photographs because she thought they made her look pretty.
Though this is probably more of a case for consideration than say reporting on Macs being delivered to Microsoft, but still it's an important issue for lots of you people that work for other (I'm still immune from what I understand).
