(CNN) -- Southwest Airlines disciplined a pilot whose profanity-laced rant about flight attendants was heard by other airplane crews and controllers, officials said Wednesday.
The unidentified pilot bashed flight attendants as a "continuous stream of gays and grannies and grandes," according to a transcript of the March 25 flight over central Texas. The pilot on the Austin to San Diego flight was referring to the sexual orientation, age and attractiveness of flight attendants.

Flight attendants are, on average, not what they used to be in the 60s and 70s.

Other than to get some reporter’s (in this case Steven Dean’s) name up in lights I would greatly appreciate someone explaining to me just why this is a newsworthy event.

He underwent “diversity education”.
I’m sure that was more effective than telling him to cut it the F out or his A is fired. /s

Hey, it's Southwest Airlines.
Who does he thinks he flies for? Pacific Southwest Airlines circa 1975?

Was thinking exactly the same thing. The days of assuming the flight attendants are going to be hot are overrrrrrrrr.

Remember also the biz opportunities were far fewer for good looking women back then. Now a lot are pharma reps.
