I’m a Delta flight attendant and I dropped all of my social media for that same exact thing. Too many people looking to take others out for their views and beliefs if they don’t align with pop culture politically correct. Disappointed to hear they let you go although I’m not surprised one bit. Keep making videos, you have my support 💯!

[@chenanigans]

Oh wow this is the first comment I saw and literally same! I'm 4 years with you know who too lol. I deleted all of my SM except KZbin in 2020. I just couldn't take it anymore. I thought that would help and it def did but only off the plane lol. The atmosphere with crews today is sooooo toxic it don't make no sense. And the crap is being normalized. I Legit on my last trip had to sit their before boarding and listen to my co-workers (2 white females) go on about their hate and disdain for white people. It was such a toxic conversation but because that kind of sentiment has been normalized now on a certain side of the political spectrum they didn't even think they were doing any wrong. And I guess they thought I'd agree with their virtue signaling being black (biracial) myself. But I don't. I literally had to get up and interrupt them. The snide comments and remarks that I have to listen to all day any time someone gets on board with an American flag mask or a mask supporting police or whatever have you that they don't agree with. Or Hell just going to Florida in general the way I've watched flight attendants talk pure sh*t about that region of Americans right in front of those same Americans as they were boarding the flight. It's embarrassing. I just do my best to smile override their hate and misplaced anger with work related convo. Anyway. Sorry I started rambling cuz it's rough out here today lol. All I know is idgas what your views are or who you voted for just get yo ass out there and help me close them bins get this door shut and get this service done 😆. I'm over it.

The level of insanity with all of this woke "political correctness" is beyond absurd! Soon there will be no way for comedians to exist. Any and all jokes will be considered offensive to some interest group or another. I'm American, but of Indian ethnicity (from India), and I would *FIGHT TO THE DEATH* for the right of an individual to make fun of my race, ethnicity etc. You know the old saying ....."sticks and stones may break my bones, but words........."

[@erauprcwa]

@@ChristopherKellum I'm so sorry this happened to you. It truly is unfortunate and rather irritating. I'm sure you're feeling a lot of emotions, but I commend you on this very measured and professional video.

[@VIKINGOCATIRE]

Uhnm i can understand both sides however when it comes to working for a well known airline company you really have to be careful about what message you are portraying in your videos. I saw a few of them, in particular the one of you being asked by a pilot for a trash bag as you were pretending to do your safety check. The video shows a total Moron pilot which is a side of a pilot i had never pictured in my mind and it made me want to kick that pilot's ass for being so demeaning however the whole thing takes a new meaning when you see the jetblue logo because it automatically will make the public think all jet blue pilots are assholes who mistreat flight attendants. It portrays a really bad public image of the company which translates in bad publicity that hurts their brand and ultimately their revenue. And you know how it is in corporate America. I'm not sure if that mistreatment by pilots was a recurrent behavior you had to endure during your career on jet blue. If it was so you might want to go all the way and call out the company for allowing such terrible treatment to you and other employees because that behavior should not be tolerated. I also saw another vídeo where you guys make fun of passengers who don't know how to open the lavatories doors or do not close the over head bins etc and that video didn't come across very nice because it feels again like jet blue flight attendants expect the passengers to do what is supposed to be your jobs. And remember people are already pissed at the monopoly airlines have in the USA by charging outrageous fees for checked bags or flight tickets. Certainly videos making a mockery out of passengers with the jet blue logo anywhere was not gonna go unnoticed for too long by the company. So maybe those videos where getting a little out of hand from the companys point of view because without you even knowing you were starting to take control and hurting their public image as a company something that is not part of a flight attendants contract. I know it can be a little difficult to understand but that's just how it is and they are legally entitled to.

Wanted to let you know I feel you 100%. My fiancée left JetBlue in September because of the same “walking on egg shells” feeling. The culture promised to him did not match the experience he had with his leadership team. It was sad and actually made me realize how messy it’s gotten within that airline. There are big personalities, personality clicks... as a person looking into the situation I was shocked. And crew relations was zero help. Honestly, best decision he ever made leaving. The stress of the culture made him anxious everyday. Keep your head up. Proud of the work you’ve done thus far!

[@AaronKellyTarquinio]

Wow Chris. I am so so so sorry for all that you have gone through. I have always found your videos to be extremely informative, absolutely hilarious, and something that I thoroughly enjoyed watching as I too absolutely love the aviation industry and would love to be a flight attendant in the very near future. So your videos gave me all the information that I would ever need in the event that I would one day pursue my dream of becoming a flight attendant. Now, I have been a customer service agent for several airlines in the past and I do know one thing, and that is that drama flies through a company like wild fire. So to hear everything that you have gone through and you not even having the opportunity to hear it for yourself first doesn’t surprise me. It just sounds like there are some major haters within your company Who have nothing better to do than to hate on other people who are more successful than them, and much better of a worker than they are. and they just cannot help themselves until they are satisfied by bringing somebody down. As for your TickTock channel and as for the Bob the drag queen video, you are absolutely correct and not at fault for trying to lighten the mood while this whole world has been going through nothing but terrible times. Everybody knows that one of JetBlue core values is fun, and for you to be punished and have a huge career taken away from you at the drop of a hat four only trying to lighten the mood and have fun while the world was going through a terrible pandemic and also by playing a video that JetBlue themselves created (bob the drag queen) is just in my mind sickening. I wish you the most best of luck in your future and again I am so sorry to hear that this is happened to you. All I know is it that if I could tell JetBlue one thing it is that they lost somebody who not only represented their company in the most professional and with the most integrity and fun. It is totally their loss and there obviously has to be way more to this situation and story then they lead you to believe. So JetBlue, because of this, I will no longer be a customer of yours and I will no longer fly on any one of your flights ever again in the future. This put me in the worst mood and I am so unbelievably upset for you and I am just absolutely disgusted with the decision that was made by JetBlue Airways. Chris, you have been nothing but a superior brand ambassador to the JetBlue brand. This is their loss not yours.

[@ChristopherKellum]

Aaron I am blown away by how well written and nice your comment is It really means a lot to me knowing that someone in the industry is understanding and can see that I meant no harm by my videos especially when in comparison to a corporate video they created.

The Guard has alote of AGR and GS civil servant positions . I would get the VETS Dept of Labor to ask JET BLUE for a official on the record reply .

[@nbkhmb5]

I’m sorry this happened to you. Unfortunately even though you do have a Union now, the flight attendants still don’t have a contract, that’s what makes you an at will emoloyee. Regardless, it’s reprehensible that a few disgruntled employees who are upset with their own self image took it out on a great guy like you. You deserve better and you will now have more opportunities to shine. I’ve been a fan and will continue to be one. Stay strong

[@ChristopherKellum]

I appreciate the kind words 🙏

[@cary737]

I was about to echo the same thing! However, at my airline we do have a contract which would’ve provided a clearer timeline to how this issue/ discipline could be resolved. That said, they still have a very far reaching Social Media Policy and people get caught in it as well. Chris, you only showed the positive part of your job/ company, but in the public realm, people are way too sensitive and companies focus on that, rather than the hundreds of positive reviews that come about! Anyway, sorry this all went down, but as you’ve shown, you have many opportunities and talents, to go on to much better things!

[@cynterslave]

I found your channel through the FA vlogs. This is unbelievable! I would never think you misrepresented the brand. In fact, you helped with their “cool, down to earth, factor”. I’m sorry this happened to you.

[@ShawnQuish0904]

The Union failed you. The Union should have been able to fight that and you should have just received a warning to take down the videos snd stop filming while in uniform,

[@ChristopherKellum]

Unfortunately they didn't and still dont have a union in place and at the time it was voted down, the union reps were only there to guide or give advice

[@nbkhmb5]

Unfortunately with no contract, the union really has no power. The FAs need to hurry up and get a contract or these unjustified terminations will continue. Until there is a contract, it’s at will employment

[@gargaarsiyad]

Aw, that is why? So B6 doesn't have a union! Sorry buddy but there so many other plenty opportunity out there for you grab it

[@captain_inglorious]

Union failed me too man. It's okay we shine hard then grind hard! Looking for another job rn

[@parisparee]

Omg I was doing some research and stumbled across your page. I actually had one of your videos on my page..the one with the Pilot asking for the trash bag, seltzer, and 3 ice cubes, 😂 i thought this particular video was hilarious because as a FA i can relate. I never knew you were given grief about these videos. Im speechless 😳

[@damongreenstar]

Very sorry that happened to you. It's been said a million times, but "when one door shuts, another door opens" is ALWAYS true in these situations. Years from now, you'll look back and realize that life wouldn't have worked out any other way. Wishing you peace and success as you move FORWARD.

[@ChristopherKellum]

So true indeed its a powerful thing to say and so true thank you for leaving a positive comment and it means a lot to me 🙏

[@jolynneraymond1108]

I am so sorry to hear what you went through. Thanks for being open and honest about your experiences. I did not find any of your stuff offensive and thought it was a light-hearted take on the current pandemic situation. Well you know what they say, things happen for a reason. There are different and perhaps better opportunities for your life now. Take care!

[@ChristopherKellum]

They sure do Jo Lynne doubling down on my passions in the meantime I appreciate you taking time to leave a positive and nice comment it means a lot to me 🙏

So sorry to hear this Chris! I really enjoyed your content! It inspired to go back to flying! Wishing you all the best!

Im and FA and I personally loved all your videos ....its really sad this happened to you and I wish you all the best!!!

[@danadamson1709]

Chris, I've enjoyed and been inspired by your positive attitude and your obvious pride for your employer. You always represented yourself and the company in such a positive lite. I'm hoping you keep making you tube videos, stay true to yourself, clearly someone at Jet Blue has made a terrible mistake. I've had the opportunity to fly on many carriers and always the best flights were the ones when the crew enjoyed what they were doing. You will do well!! Stay positive and soldier on!

[@ChristopherKellum]

Thank you 🙏

[@cszal]

Man Chris that really sucks, I’m sorry to hear that. I love your channel though, as I visit mostly for your workout tips and meal prepping, and also military life. Your videos are great and I love your channel! Keep up the great work!

[@ericflores2577]

Chris, I'm really sorry to hear that. I enjoy watching your videos and you know you've been an inspiration to move forward into the airline industry. B6 has promoted themselves as a progressive and "Fun" company, but seem to operate just like the other airlines. Thank you for sharing and I hope to see you back in the airline industry again. Wishing you the best buddy!

[@MrKevreg]

You are absolutely correct it is the culture of a company that makes a huge difference. Kudos for you for recognizing that

[@daisygadson]

Sorry to hear about this. How smiles and laughter was missed interpreted 😦😦 Your best is yet to come. I loved those tik toks.

[@ChristopherKellum]

I appreciate this and I appreciate you taking time to leave a comment I hope all is well! 🙏

[@l2etranger]

It was clear again from just hearing your experience to see what was inevitable. Brand image is not only the bedrock of a company, but it is also what is remembered at anytime whenever brought up about sensitivity and inclusion. This unfortunate experience is typical for one individual manifesting his talent via artistic expressions with few options for feedback. No matter how small, auditions can help before publishing elements from a project or portfolio. Best of luck to you in your endeavors.

[@gretchenlunger923]

Wishing you the best in your adventures. Sorry for all you have gone through, it’s a great loss for JetBlue for sure!!

[@49erfaithfulforever]

I’m so sorry this happened to you. Truly this is JetBlue’s loss. I know you’ve got bigger and better things ahead. You still have your girlfriend flight benefits, so that’s a plus. All the best to you Chris.

[@jnbtpasam8093]

Not necessarily at my airline if you are released from the company you cannot fly on any employee passes at all. that is termination to the employee who let you use your passes. You better double check before you fly.

[@ChristopherKellum]

@@jnbtpasam8093 Which airline is this? thats interesting thanks for the tip

[@ChristopherKellum]

Thanks Paula I appreciate your support and time leaving a comment it means a lot 🙏

[@jayfocused1680]

I am really sorry you experienced this! Your videos were very informative

[@bescrow]

This is why the protections available in a union contract are so important.

[@jessieporath5220]

Chris I just want to share with you that I had a very similar termination happen to me also with JetBlue around the same time that you did. I was an AO and in February 2020 I did what is called a punch and park where you run in to clock in and then go to park your car. It took me 5 minutes, was in before we opened the counter and this event was brought to higher-ups attention. I had never been written up or had any type of discipline occur in my 2 years with JetBlue. I appealed the case and sadly lost and in May 2020 was terminated from a job I loved so very much. Strange to hear someone with a similar story to mine but your positivity in your video is very motivating. I know we will be okay in the end and will find our place if we chose to stay in the industry.

[@skymuffn]

...this clip alone brings out that determined passion and that sense of pride in humanity that you clearly possess, quite an asset in an ungrateful industry. I was dealt with a similar blow over a decade ago as a proud SFOSW of 17 years with UAL, mine came as a petty, short and round newly appointed supervisor. With her constant write ups on my lack of respect for her and the Standards of United Airlines for being unbusinesslike even with over 40 letters of excellence from passengers including Chuck and Helen Schwab (my neighbors), started my exit. Eventually, I did but by an unfortunate injury which a hefty settlement made me retire at 42, which gave me the liberty to care for my best friend (I was the gay husband) and my amazing father who both battled cancer but lost. People like you makes the hope of the future look awesome. Keep it up and with my utmost respect for your service. Thank You

[@charlesgrossimon9742]

Chris....I applied, interviewed, and was offered a FA position with the same airline. I was looking forward to it and your videos helped me to be enthusiastic about the prospect of flying. Nothing about your videos struck me as irreverent or offensive. Unfortunately, the COVID 19 situation cancelled out our applications and the hiring process never happened for me and the rest of us who would have been in the training class together. I was disappointed, but since then, I accepted a better position in a job you'd be proud of. So, yes, things do happen for a reason. Chalk it up to the airline's loss. You will land on your feet and will be great at whatever you do. Who knows, better things are just down the road for you. Charlie

[@miltochezchelios]

You are amazing person, always enjoyed your inflight videos. Keep strong 💪. The fact that you remain so calm and respectful even when JB decision was so unfair shows how big of a person you are. Many blessings to you.

[@Metuas01]

Wow!!! Seriously!! That absolutely sucks! You have always been an advocate, ambassador for Jet Blue! And you always spoke about how fun your company was etc etc etc truly sorry that this has happened. Someone needs to give HR a chill pill and yeah! Don’t know what to say! Except good luck! And thank you for sharing your fun experiences flying

[@Robyncavallaro]

Sorry to hear about your job. I remember back in the early 80’s I interviewed for a flight attendant position with several airlines. Part of the first interview we were put on a scale! Yes weighed in. I was in great shape but at 5’2 I weighed 123 lbs. muscle I will add. Told I was overweight!!! I needed to weigh no more than 118 lbs. Things have changed

[@stephaniammtenfour]

Oh no so upsetting. I'm sorry, Chris! I'm sure great things will come for you. 100% their loss. Good luck on your future endeavors 🙏🏼

[@ChristopherKellum]

Thank you Stephania I appreciate you taking time to leave a nice comment it means a lot to me ! 🙏

[@stephaniammtenfour]

@@ChristopherKellum Also, I'm not sure if you'll be interested, but Breeze is hiring in the SE states for now. I think you would be great!

[@ChristopherKellum]

I’ve had my eye on them and did just see this it is definitely on my radar thank you 🙏

[@curacaoham]

Woww seriously??!! I didn't was expecting that. Well keep your head high. The best is yet to come

[@l_a_n6992]

I'm very sorry that happened to you😢. I'm a regional United flight attendant and last year was a very stressful year, as a flight attendant, working through the pandemic, with the uncertainty if our company was going to survive, if our jobs were at stake. With all the things going around your videos made my day, and made me enjoy my job. Its just sad how this world has turned out to be overly sensitive and everything has to be censored when there's really nothing wrong in your videos. I really appreciated your content and I wish you luck with your new journey.

[@jad8123]

I used to watch your videos all the time and just literally thought of you today. I remembered that you were no longer a flight attendant but then dropped off watching your videos. I guess I was more into the flight attendant videos versus your new career which is odd because I have no experience in either. LOL!!!! I hope all is well with you and your career.

[@professorkyler5738]

“Have the courage to walk away”.. you hit the nail on the head. That’s the exact reason I left a mainline carrier after too many incidents of having my voice snuffed by management and false or misleading information to be spread about the crew members throughout the system. Definitely leave any situation, especially if you start to notice that a company’s culture doesn’t align with their own values. You seem to have had good intentions and got punished for your dedication and enthusiasm. That’s such a shame. I hope you find your way back to the skies. I have, and I am so thankful to have been shown how misleading and corrupt certain entities of the aviation industry can truly be, so I can now appreciate the positive in other airlines who strive to represent their values on a daily basis. Good luck!

[@vmorgan25]

This $hit sucks! I cannot believe you were let go for this! I absolutely love your channel and I'll definitely be watching for your next chapter in life. I only flew jet blue because i could see the pride you had for the company. I'm a firm believer that when one door closes another one opens. This is your time to switch gears, and this is my time to switch airlines! Best of luck to you!

[@dcjimr1]

I'm so sorry to hear this. I always enjoyed your videos and I thought that you were nothing but a positive representative of your company. You will succeed at whatever you and I wish you all the best.

[@clearance_delivery]

Being a pilot was the best decision I ever made. I flew as a flight attendant for F9 and I felt the same way, everyday was walking on eggshells. Things will get better and keep us updated on the pilot gig if you continue that path!

[@EEAUCES]

This is horrible bud, people need a grow up!! We loved your videos, especially the ones with you at work. Don't let this bring you down buddy... FLY HIGHER in the army ✊🏽
