An American Airlines flight attendant was fired over her social media content, and even she wasn’t surprised…
American flight attendant fired over social media content
A Philadelphia-based American flight attendant has just taken to social media to share that she has been fired from the airline over her social media content, among other things. The influencer has two Instagram accounts, including @jastinations (her standard social media) and @jumpseatjasmine (her former flight attendant content).
Let’s start with her video where she explains what happened that caused her to lose her job. According to her version of events:
- Last month (in March 2026) she was fired by American for posting a video about the war with Iran
- She has no hard feelings about American, and says that while the video she posted was what was on her termination letter, there were other things she did that contributed to her termination, including wearing hair and nails out of compliance, and even having visible tattoos that weren’t covered up
- She takes accountability for her part in this, and explained that she just wanted to make flight attendant content that she saw her fellow flight attendants making as well, while being herself
- She initially became a flight attendant for American regional subsidiary PSA in 2021 (before eventually starting at mainline), and she knew this wasn’t going to be her long term career; the first “free” flight she ever took was to take her mom off life support, and she viewed that as a sign that this wasn’t for her long term, and she found many aspects of the job to have negative energy
- Being let go from American was the greatest blessing in her life, because it gave her the courage to become a full time content creator, which is what she really wanted to do
- She talks about how some people may say it’s karma she got fired, because she reported “Ashley” in 2023, and “she talked about it in 2025” (anyone know the backstory there, as I’m not sure what she’s referring to?)
- She has no regrets, given that she made great friends, and this also allowed her to get her social media following, and she’s grateful for the opportunity, and even to American, and to the people who don’t like her
You can see the video for yourself below…
What video got this American flight attendant fired?
When I saw the above video, I was of course curious. Umm, what did she say about Iran? Well, I found the video, and you can find it below. The video was posted in early March, shortly after the start of the conflict with Iran.
In the satire skit, she claims she’s talking to Iran on the phone, and she says:
- “Yeah, if you wanted to go to the Capitol, you could. You know what, the Pentagon is over there too.”
- “Miss, like, all the cities with heavy Hispanics and Blacks.”
- “No, he lives in DC, it’s a white house, it’s like right there on the corner. No, no, no, no, the one that’s in the middle.”
- “Where’s Charlie Kirk wife? I’m not sure, she on a tour with Nicki Minaj. I think his grave is in Arlington.”
- “I think they have Middle Eastern food over here, they got some of the best ones in New York, yeah, where they lied and said y’all did that last time with the World Trade Center.”
I mean, of course this was going to be a career ender, I don’t think that’s coming as much of a surprise. And she clearly recognizes that as well, based on her commentary.
Below is a small sampling of her content as a flight attendant…
A few thoughts:
- I don’t condone violence or talk of violence of any sort, especially given the highly polarized world we live in
- Firing her was the only option and the right move, and she was clearly irreverent, and had several other violations as well
- To her credit, she seems to have a positive vibe and tried to treat passengers well, so I at least appreciate that
- I respect the classy way she’s going about this “reveal,” saying positive things about the airline, and about her time there, and not laying the blame on others (we’ve seen plenty of other flight attendants get fired over social media content, only to then play the victim card)
- The “content creator” space sure is getting saturated!
Bottom line
An American Airlines flight attendant has been fired over her social media content, among other things. The flight attendant was also a content creator, and posted a video several weeks back joking about Iran attacking the White House.
She obviously did a lot that violated American’s policies, so it’s no surprise she lost her job. At least she’s not surprised or upset about it.
What do you make of this American flight attendant losing her job?
