What Wall Street Can Learn From The Southwest Pilot Suspended For Sizing Up Colleagues While Micâd Up
By Bess Levin
Thinking about taking a few minutes to evaluate the attractiveness of your co-workers to the guy or girl who sits next to you? Maybe donât do it over the PA system? Or into a bullhorn? Or near a recording device?
In the raunchy rant, the unidentified pilot unleashed a slew of expletives as he ripped into his co-workersâ sexuality, age and sizeâ¦âThereâs 12 flight attendantsâ¦Eleven (expletive) over the top (expletive), (expletive) homosexuals and a granny,â the pilot said, clearly unaware his cockpit microphone became stuck open. âEleven. I mean, think of the odds of that. I thought I was in Chicago, which was party-land. âAfter that, it was just a continuous stream of gays and grannies and grands.â Seconds later, the pilot offered his unsavory views of Houston flight attendants. âNow Iâm back in Houston, which is easily one of the ugliest bases,â the pilot told his co-pilot in the recording obtained by Houston TV station KPRC. âI mean itâs all these (expletive) old dudes and grannies and thereâs like maybe a handful of cute chicks.â
The diatribe, broadcast over the Houston air traffic control radio frequency on March 25, blocked communication between air traffic controllers and other pilots for more than two minutes, ABC News reported. At one point, the air traffic controller in Houston tried to interrupt the onslaught. âOK, whoever is, uh, transmitting, better watch what youâre saying,â the controller said.
