I think the issue is less that it was posted and more that it was presented as "just an innocent question" yet there were plenty of details that could actually lead to DL determining the employee being discussed. when you are truly asking a question for curiosity's sake, there is a way to phrase it. When you are being a busy-body and trying to play gotcha, there's a way to phrase that as well.
I am really not being sarcastic, I legitimately would be interested to further anonymize in the future.

Fair enough, going forward what is the info i gave that could lead to them (DL) figuring out who it was? Was it the "this morning" vs lets say "a recent flight"?

five seats still empty
in uniform pilot
out of uniform FA
caribbean location
date of "this morning" to narrow it down to a specific day
post history to narrow down your home airport and/or frequent DL airports

I think that's the key - deadhead vs. non-rev.
I believe (without great certainty) that DL policy prohibits alcohol for deadheading pilots and FAs. I also believe that there is no FAR (Federal Aviation regulation) around this. One certainly can non-rev out of uniform - although Delta does have a non-rev dress code. Presence of a company ID isn't indicative: one would have needed ID to non-rev.

Im a DL FA. If we book the FA JS and the flight has open seats, we can occupy the open seat. As long as we are not in uniform and not returning to the JS, we can consume alcohol provided it is not within 8 hours of going on duty.
It also irritates me when crew out of uniform leave their ID on. The only reason a crew member should have their ID visible on the plane when not in uniform is if we are occupying the additional JS.
This is is a non-issue.
