The photo has been removed after lingering for about an hour on its timeline but that didn't stop social media users from screencapping and reposting it.
Both Buzzfeed and Deadspin have posted the NSFW image in its entirety on their sites. You can head there if you're interested in seeing the photo but be warned: graphic content lies ahead.
Based on the company's Twitter account, it seemed the airline was replying to two customers under the usernames @ElleRafter and @ThatKATZkat who were unhappy with its service.

— ♡ alex ♡ (@ThatKATZkat) April 14, 2014@USAirways that was not appropriate at all lol
— ♡ alex ♡ (@ThatKATZkat) April 14, 2014@ElleRafter's conversation took on a similar format before the photo appeared.
@USAirways Unhappy that 1787 sat for an hour on tarmac in CLT because overweight, resulting in over hour late arrival in PDX...
— Elle (@ElleRafter) April 14, 2014@USAirways ...and there were no ground personnel outside security in PDX to talk to! Plane was OLD and falling apart. Poor service!
— Elle (@ElleRafter) April 14, 2014@USAirways Is this the sort of service that I should expect now that you merged with AA and are part of #OneWorld? If so, no thanks!!
— Elle (@ElleRafter) April 14, 2014@USAirways yeah, you seem so very sorry. So sorry, in fact, that you couldn't be bothered to address my other tweets.
— Elle (@ElleRafter) April 14, 2014US Airways apologized for the photo and said it is investigating how it made its way to the company's 419,000 Twitter followers.
We apologize for an inappropriate image recently shared as a link in one of our responses. We’ve removed the tweet and are investigating.
— US Airways (@USAirways) April 14, 2014The Huffington Post Canada has reached out to the airline for comment and will update the story once they reply.
