“#United Airlines probing Ted Cruz leak: report<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

United Airlines is investigating the leak of Sen. Ted Cruz\u2019s revised itinerary \u2014 in which he returned to Texas earlier than planned from Cancun, Mexico, amid outrage about his trip<\/a> during the winter storm, according to a report.<\/p>\n

The Republican lawmaker at first claimed he was just escorting his daughters, ages 12 and 10, on the Wednesday evening flight and planned to return immedia<\/a>tely to the Lone Star State.<\/p>\n

He flew back to Houston Thursday, after a photograph of him boarding the flight sparked a firestorm, and later admitted that he planned to stay there with his family until Saturday.<\/p>\n

Cruz\u2019s about-face came as text messages from his wife, Heidi, revealed they told pals they were abandoning the \u201cFREEZING\u201d weather\u00a0and heading to the fancy Ritz-Carlton resort.<\/p>\n

Edward Russell, a reporter at travel news<\/a> outlet Skift, said on Twitter on Thursday that he had talked to a source at United who confirmed Cruz had \u201crebooked his flight back to Houston from Cancun for this afternoon at around 6 a.m. today (Thursday). He was originally scheduled to return on Saturday,\u201d according to Politico<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Now, the airline said it is investigating the leak \u2014 and it could lead to terminations.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s against United\u2019s policies to share personal information about our customers and we are investigating this incident,\u201d a United executive told Politico in a statement, adding that the leaker could be fired.<\/p>\n

The airline honcho told the outlet that no options are \u201coff the table,\u201d but that it depends on the outcome of the probe and if they definitively find the worker who leaked the information.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat guy claiming to have a United source is putting that source in danger of being fired with his tweet. Airlines track every single keystroke of their agents or anyone else who has access to flight records,\u201d journalist Yashar Ali said in a tweet in response to the leak, Politico reported.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Sara Nelson, president of the Association of Flight Attendants, defended the leak, and urged United to drop the investigation, HuffPost reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cPerspective: whoever the \u2018leak\u2019 is, she\/he\/they have over 10k @united colleagues & families in TX who are freezing while their US Senator skips town & then tries to lie about it,\u201d she said in a tweet<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201c@tedcruz is not a \u2018customer,\u2019 he\u2019s a public servant who has lied too many times. WE\u2019RE ALL THE LEAK,\u201d she said, adding, \u201cHey United, #WeAreAllTheLeak.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Post has reached out to United for comment.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
