Is TMZ paying off DL employee(s)?

At least one employee of Delta Airlines supplies TMZ with the names and itineraries of celebrity passengers travelling through Los Angeles and New York. In an e-mail dated January 29, 2014, a TMZ manager informed her colleagues that the star of an ABC drama had been spotted sitting in first class, in seat 2A, on Delta Flight 1061, from Orlando to Los Angeles, when his plane was rerouted to Dallas—the result of a bomb threat issued on Twitter. Such information helps TMZ’s crew of a dozen or so paparazzi know when and where to “drop in on” a celebrity who is transiting through an airport. One day’s list, from June, 2010, included the flight details for Robert Redford and Jack Kevorkian; another one, two months later, had the itineraries of Julius Erving, Kathy Ireland, and Malcolm-Jamal Warner. “It’s not an accident the guy with a camera is waiting at the Delta check-in counter at 8 a.m.,” a former TMZ employee wrote, anonymously, on Defamer, a Hollywood site owned by Gawker.

Of course you would ignore the fact it's published in a well respected periodical.

The level of your lack of reading comprehension has hit all new levels.

Newyorker is just another leftist rag, and they published something-something hearsay from  "a former TMZ employee wrote, anonymously, on Defamer, a Hollywood site owned by Gawker."
 
​An anonymous former employee who made the comment on a blog? Seriously, that's some quality journalism.
 
And of course, you fell for it as your disdain and contempt for DAL seeps from your pores.
 
Pathetic.

Could of sworn itd be illegal to get that sort of info especially for a major corporation like TMZ btw they allegedly paid 100,000 for the ray rice video so if true id say tmz cld be in trouble?

Maybe, but probably not nearly as much as any DL person that may have sold the info...

Here's the supposed claim from an anonymous writer on a low rent hollywood gossip site owned by the much discredited Gawker.
 
Thats todays supposed "journalism".

The claims that someone from DL is leaking this is a pretty big breach of privacy if it's true.

We had similar lists at AA, but they were locked down to just the VIP office. God forbid you leaked out anyone that was handled by Mary Strain, Walter Hagan or Ginny Borowski...
