A US airline attendant suspended over "inappropriate images" on her blog - web diary - says she has been fired.
Ellen Simonetti, known as Queen of the Sky, wrote an anonymous semi-fictional account of her life in the sky. She was suspended by Delta in September.
In a statement, she said she was initiating legal action against the airline for "wrongful termination".
A Delta spokesperson confirmed on Wednesday that Ms Simonetti was no longer an employee.
Delta has repeatedly declined to elaborate on what it calls "internal employee matters".
A spokesperson reiterated this position on Wednesday, confirming only that Ms Simonetti was no longer with the company.
The spokesperson also confirmed that there were "very clear rules" attached to the unauthorised use of Delta branding, including uniforms.
Ms Simonetti announced on her blog she had been fired on 1 November.
She said in an official statement: "As a result of my suspension and subsequent termination without cause by Delta Airlines I am moving forward with filing a discrimination complaint with the Federal Government EEOC [US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission]."
Clueless? Conceited? Curmudgeon?
