Pud: +1 for the pilot

0/10

BRING ON THE SEXY STEWS, YEAH!

/None on those flights, apparently

"A continuous stream of gays and grannies and grandes," the pilot said.

Oh my!

"Eleven (expletive) over-the-top (expletive) ass (expletive) homosexuals and a granny," the pilot said as he complained to his co-pilot about the lack of flight attendants who caught his interest.

He could have at least tried being clever, e.g. "Fags fly free!"

new band name

JerseyTim: Could have been worse...

Hahahahahahaha!

How does this:

"A continuous stream of gays and grannies and grandes," or "Eleven (expletive) over-the-top (expletive) ass (expletive) homosexuals and a granny," or "Now I'm back in Houston, which is easily where the ugliest base is. I mean it's all these (expletive) old dudes and grannies and there's like maybe a handful of cute chicks."

equal this:

Cece Cox, the CEO of Resource Center Dallas, which advocates for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender issues in the city where Southwest Airlines is based, said, "This individual has made statements that are anti-woman, anti-age, and anti-gay in a way that can't be disputed and they're hateful and they're damaging to the employees of Southwest Airlines as well as consumers of Southwest Airlines."

Was it in poor taste? Yes, But anti-woman, anti-age, and anti gay? Hateful? Not in the context of women he'd like to "date" (i.e. bang). In this case, context is everything.

slayer199: In this case, context is everything.

You're right.

His co-pilot then responded inside the cockpit about one of those groups, but his response could not be heard on the recording. It is unclear whether the co-pilot refers to people who are gay, or people who are older, or people who are overweight, and the pilot is then heard responding, "Well I don't give a (expletive). I hate 100 percent of their (expletive)."

Contextually, he just hates dating their (expletive). This is all one big misunderstanding.

JerseyTim: Could have been worse...

Came for this. Leaving satisfied...after taking my lavelor mic to the bathroom to urinate....

"Pretzels, Mr. Bond?"

slayer199: Yes, But anti-woman, anti-age, and anti gay? Hateful?

"Pilot answers: "Well I don't give a (expletive). I hate 100 percent of their (expletive)."

What's not clear?

That was worth easing back on NoScript so I could listen to audio.

Ah, Houston, SkyWest 685 we're 19,5 for 230 and that was not us Lulz

Oh my!

I LOL'd

BKITU: ... so he says, "Hey, sweetheart, you forgot the coffee!"

Heh, excellent.

Quasar: "Well I don't give a (expletive). I hate 100 percent of their (expletive)."

That said, based on my understanding, he wasn't live to the cockpit, he was live to air traffic control (and a few minutes is maybe dozens of miles, not "hundreds", subby). I don't understand the suspension. Personally, I think people have a right to be assholes in private.

While the plane itself may have only traveled "dozens of miles" in the few minutes, his broadcast was heard by people hundreds of miles away.

RminusQ: Personally, I think people have a right to be assholes in private.

"While at work" is now considered private?

JerseyTim: Could have been worse...

CSB: My grandpa was an airline pilot after his navy pilot days... one of his best stories was flying with a copilot afraid of thunderstorms (I know).

They're going through a storm, he goes on the intercom and says "Ladies and gentlemen, we may experience some turbulence. If you could all buckle your seatbelts, we'll be through the worst of it in a few minutes."

Before he lets go of the button, lightning flashes in front of the cockpit, just as the plane is gut-wrenchingly rocked by turbulence. The co-pilot yells "OH SHIAT, WE'RE FARKED" for the entire plane to hear.

RminusQ: Quasar: "Well I don't give a (expletive). I hate 100 percent of their (expletive)."

Farking radios, how do they work?

FTFA: "Pilots within certain altitude guidelines over that entire geographic area were unable to communicate with Houston Center air traffic controllers for the entire four-minute duration of his conversation since his headset microphone was stuck."

You might want to just double check your dictionary, it appears to have a very odd definition of "private"

"Eleven (expletive) over-the-top (expletive) ass (expletive) homosexuals and a granny,"

Well he's right. Stewardesses used to be hot chicks, now it's fat ugly broads and flamers. Not that there's anything wrong with being flaming.

"A continuous stream of gays and grannies and grandes," the pilot said.

Are those the new sizes at starbucks?

RAW AUDIO: Pilot Tirade (Warning: Language)

Oh really? So the pilot was there bleeping himself? Does anyone know of a link to actual raw audio?

Lets play... FILL THOSE EXPLETIVES! Tonight a Houston pilot gets his mic stuck on recording. He then makes the dreadful mistake to harass the crew members. The first three to correctly answer move on to our weekly whirrple round. Lets play!

'"Eleven (expletive) over-the-top (expletive) ass (expletive) homosexuals and a granny," the pilot said as he complained to his co-pilot about the lack of flight attendants who caught his interest.'

BKITU: ... so he says, "Hey, sweetheart, you forgot the coffee!"

I was going to go with "Take your time, honey, he said he was going to take a shiat first."

The classics never get old.

Was it this guy?:

BKITU: ... so he says, "Hey, sweetheart, you forgot the coffee!"

Came to say this.

sexy stew:

4 chicken boobies make it so hot.

Should have been a pilot back in the good ol days.

RminusQ: "I don't understand the suspension."

Because he tied up comm traffic to the controllers for four minutes?

That's the perfect SWA commerical:

After he says it all, the voice over guy says their slogan:

"Want to get away?"

Mad Scientist: Should have been a pilot back in the good ol days.

Bring back the hot pants!

/And the hot women.

jesdynf: Personally, I wouldn't fire the guy either. The worst punishment I could possibly dole out to him would be making him continue to fly those routes and see what dates he can find now.

Well he's certainly not getting any action from the old people, homosexual men, or fat chicks! That will teach him properly! I feel that the airline had cause to fire him and do the flop-and-twitch apology; PR is PR after all. I think his preferences on dating are not a matter to be considered hateful... I'm sure the homosexual flight attendants are uninterested in dating him as well. Nobody likes to have sex with old people if they have a choice, and fat people likewise.

Kankikr2: '"Eleven impressively over-the-top hunky-ass f*ckable homosexuals and a granny," the pilot said as he complained to his co-pilot about the lack of flight attendants who caught his interest.'

I don't think this is right, contextually speaking.
