Not sure what you're saying
I to have my preferences in conduct..but they are mine and I don't think they should or will apply to others.

I think I'm with you here, Delta has their preferences also, which are their own, and others shouldn't apply to them, right?

Yet another reason I'm not too fond of government passing more and more laws that regulate behaivor in the personal choice areas of our lives.

Not sure where that came from, do you mean that the business has it's choice of who it wants in its employ and the government or noone else should interfere? If so then I agree again.

Now this womans conduct was not so much a concern of mine in any fashion...

That's fine, you can hire her but that's your opinion, isn't the companies opinion just as valid? Don't they have just as much right to choose their own standards?

and I always want to know what a woman whom I find attractive looks like NAKED...

Don't we all, but doesn't the company have the same right to be a little more prudish than that if that is their choice?

Again, I don't want to misunderstand you, but it seems to me that you think the company is wrong, and that you are basing that opinion on your own views without affording that same choice to them.

That same choice might mean that you choose not to fly Delta because of them firing her, while someone else might choose not to fly because of her website. On the other hand, some might possibly get excited seeing her pictures and then want to fly Delta.

I'm just saying that the company does have a morale, ethical and legal right to fire the woman for any reason as allowed by law, and there was no law as to why they couldn't fire her.
