Southwest Airlines News announced on Sunday that the airline is doing an internal investigation after a pilot insulted President Joe Biden using the plane’s public address system last week. The pilot used the phrase “Let’s go Brandon” when the pilot greeted the passengers.

What Does Let’s Go Brandon Mean?

The Let’s Go, Brandon phrase is already becoming popular among right-wing circles. It’s a stand-in for swearing at President Joe Biden.

Last week, South Carolina Republican Jeff Duncan wore a face mask that read "Let's Go, Brandon." During the World Series, Senator Ted Cruz, on the other side, posed with a Let's Go Brandon sign. A Republican member of Congress used the term on the House floor. Furthermore, the word has been trending on social media.

Southwest Airlines revealed its 10-year environmental sustainability strategy on Monday, according to Latest Airline News. This involves a reduction of at least 20% in carbon emissions by 2030. In addition, by 2030, it aims to replace 10% of its total jet fuel use with sustainable aviation fuel.

The airline intends to achieve all of these goals using a variety of strategies, including fleet modernization and route optimization." We're establishing targets to lower our carbon emission intensity and enhance SAF in our operations, and we're trying to develop knowledge in the realm of sustainability," says Executive Vice President and Incoming CEO Bob Jordan.

Southwest is also launching the "first loyalty-based airline carbon offset option in the United States." Southwest will match every $1 donated toward assisting the airline in reducing carbon emissions.
