WW Language....






A Southwest Airlines pilot has been suspended after broadcasting a slur-filled rant about flight attendants over an air-traffic control frequency that stopped controllers from contacting other aircraft.

The profanity-laced rant meant controllers were unable to contact other aircraft for several minutes potentially putting lives at risk.

The Southwest Airlines pilot launched into a swear laced tirade about gay, overweight and older flight attendants on a flight passing over Houston, Texas.

The pilot complained that most flight attendants weren't acceptable dating prospects for him.

'It was a continuous stream of gays, grannies and grandes,' the pilot said.

The recording was obtained by the Houston Chronicle from the Federal Aviation Authority.

The pilot, who has not been named, had accidentally turned on his microphone while talking to his co-pilot.

He was unaware his conversation was being recorded and had no idea he was clogging up a frequency that prevented controllers in Houston from talking to dozens of other jets.

[Txstang1]

what's the big deal ? I'd be pissed too if I was a single pilot and there was no decent tail to tap...lol

I would have loved to have been a pilot in the 60s. I can't even remember the last time I saw a quasi-decent looking flight attendant. When I do, she is usually getting off the flight I'm about be on, while they're loading up bails of hay for the new crew..

When I used to catch the late flight from MSP to DFW, the cabin crew that usually worked that flight were pretty decent (and yes, all female). Several of then were single and ready to mingle too.
Now the earlier flights...they needed to be in kennels.

Diversity training, then reinstated lol....................


Southwest Airlines suspended a pilot whose disparaging comments about gays and older flight attendants were transmitted over an air-traffic control frequency.

The pilot was talking with another crew member and apparently didn't realize that his microphone was on.


Southwest said Wednesday that the pilot was reinstated after going through diversity training. The incident happened in March and was reported this week by KPRC-TV in Houston.

On a tape of the two-and-a-half minute rant, the pilot can be heard talking about wanting to socialize with co-workers but complaining that many were gay or too old or too heavy. Sometimes using profanity and slurs, he called them "a continuous stream of gays and grannies and grandes." An air-traffic controller in Houston told pilots in the area to check if their microphone was stuck open.

"The actions of this pilot are, without question, inconsistent with the professional behavior and overall respect that we require from our employees," said Southwest spokeswoman Brandy King. She said the pilot was reprimanded and suspended without pay, although she wouldn't say for how long. She said he apologized to air-traffic controllers and their bosses.

King declined to identify the pilot. She said he has worked for Southwest for more than a dozen years and has an otherwise good record.

The Federal Aviation Administration said it alerted Southwest after determining that the pilot on the tape was likely from Southwest.

FAA spokesman Lynn Lunsford said the incident occurred at a time in the flight when personal conversions are allowed in the cockpit but that the FAA "expects a higher level of professionalism from flight crews
