Southwest Pilot Conversation and Massive Over-reaction Fallout

Phoenix, AZ—First let me say that Gays and Grannies need love too. Those that must work also deserve comparable wages as everyone in similar skill levels. They all have worth and rate fair treatment along with genuine respect. Here someone dared suggest that Gay men and older women may be better received in occupations other than that of flight attendants.

Yes a Southwest Airlines pilot got caught on an open air traffic microphone ranting about the “New Breed” of flight attendants working for the airline. He made some unflattering remarks about the Gays and Grannies that have taken over the domain once reserved for young and friendly pretty ladies.

First of all the ousting of the Southwest Airlines eye candy is disheartening for any straight male. The law, corporate attitudes and political correctness have changed in America. Is this for the better? I don’t think so.

We are today a nation or crybabies that can’t accept anyone criticizing their culture, lifestyle, sexual preference, height, and weight or shoe size. Everyone on this earth has something considered undesirable to others and has to live with that liability. That includes ageing White, male pilots.

For anyone to be alarmed about this private conversation between pilots not intended to be heard by anyone is disturbing at least to me.

As for what the pilot misses can anyone really argue that these Southwest ladies weren’t spectacular and enjoyable to have serve them in the days when flying was fun?

I’d love to go back to those days before political correctness went wacky and people were never frisked like criminals before they could board an aircraft.

As for the pilot he simply privately called it the way he saw it. As in that great Jack Nicholson film line, “You can’t handle the truth!”

The comments would have been private if for not the stupidity of this individual keying the microphone. This shows a lack of professionalism and a lack of common sense. If the intent were to keep the conversation private, don't have it in an environment that is recorded at all times by cockpit voice recorders. Poor judgement and no taste by these crew members.

Uncalled for, even though the Pilot was probably right in his opinions..

what real difference do the comments make, anyway?....unfortunate that they were broadcast, but, since when do we legislate what is in a person's mind or heart?

Freedom of Speach!

He is totally right in his opinion!W

As a straight female, I also miss the days when stewardesses were pretty and friendly. In fact, there are a lot of things that I miss such as freedom of speech, and public decency.

The only issue here was the Pilot hit the Hot Mic rather that the Inter-phone. Move along "girls".

A 40 Caliber Nightmare Is Caught On Tape.

So you’re confident that that .40 caliber S&W service round will keep you safe. Maybe you’ll have second thoughts after you see this video. One hot summer night in 1994 Tempe and Mesa Arizona police were involved in a pursuit with this suspect who ran into a stranger’s apartment to hide after being shot TWICE in the chest. He was shirtless and you can see the blood pumping out of those two wounds. What’s really frightening is just how agile this fellow is as he struts to the ambulance. If he was not handcuffed and had a knife or a gun, ask yourself if he could still hurt you, your partner or a hostage? If your jurisdiction demands that officers carry either the 9MM or the .40 Caliber S&W it’s time to show this video to your bosses and lobby to have the .45 ACP round authorized. The switch may well reduce the screaming by self-appointed community activists about how many rounds police had to use on a suspect. The really talented and courageous video journalist, Karen Ke...

The origin of the feature film, COME FRIDAY…

CLick On the pictures to see full size versions. Long ago there was a young lady I had the hots for in a big way (Yes, I know that hots is not a word). She was pretty, incredibly bright, and had some real elegance about her. She had a love for children and basic kindness that you don’t often see in someone her age. I met her parents and could understand she came from a much more stable home than mine. I was raised by a single, welfare mom and suddenly found myself way out-classed. For whatever reasons things did not workout they way I had hoped. Sadly for me, we went on our separate ways. From time to time I’d run into this lady in various places where our job had taken us. Whenever this happened my heart would skip a beat or two. I left my hometown Chicago, and moved to Arizona where I founded my detective agency. As a private eye and soon a TV news producer too, my career took me to the highest profile criminal events in Arizona and throughout the country. There’s no question that ...

America Will See Its Worst Race Riot Yet This Summer

Star Prosecution Witness, Rachel Jeantel Sanford, FL —Yes, the George Zimmerman trial here has thousands of African-Americans getting ready for some serious bloodletting. I don’t want to make idle and dire predictions but this nation has never been so divided and racially sensitive.  Our African-American President took sides on this case at the very beginning.  That ratified a George Zimmerman guilty verdict in the minds of millions. There’s just one little problem, and that is the murder case should have never been filed.  It was filed purely for political reasons despite the fact that it was a simple justifiable homicide.  Zimmerman was on the block watch lookout program and followed a suspicious Trayvon Martin after he used an improper entrance to a gated community.  Zimmerman was acting as the eyes and ears of the Sanford Police Department. Martin did not like being followed and knew that he could easily beat up the out-of-shape...
