As the airliner pushed back from the gate, the flight attendant gave the passengers the usual information regarding seat belts, etc. Finally, she said, "Now sit back and enjoy your trip while your captain, Judith Campbell, and crew take you safely to your destination."
Joe sitting in the eighth row thought to himself, "Did I hear her right? Is the captain a woman?"
When the attendants came by with the drink cart, he said, "Did I understand you right? Is the captain a woman?"
"Yes," said the attendant, "In fact, this entire crew is female."
"My God," said Joe, "I'd better have two scotch and sodas. I don't know what to think of all those women up there in the cockpit."
"That's another thing sir," said the attendant, "We no longer call it the cock pit. Now it's the box office."
Good for her.
Alec Baldwin again?
Women are great - everyone should own one
Whether or not it’s proper to kick someone off a plane for voicing an opinion, the passenger was an idiot who had to know he was, in essence, picking a fight with the authorities on an airline. That’s pretty darned stupid. I don’t have any sympathy for someone that stupid. He shouldn’t be allowed out of the house.
The correct way for the female pilot to handle the perceived insult was to fly a flawless, bump free flight and touch down as light as a feather.
A professional does not behave in a knee-jerk manner. While the man may have been a boor and a lout, the greater evil was the action of the pilot.
She tossed a passenger off a plane? Wow....a pilot and a black belt in that Brazilian martial arts stuff.
List of people you should never be a dick to:
secretaries
HR people
IT people
people in charge of transporting you from point A to point B. This guy’s just lucky she didn’t make an “emergency” landing in BFE before kicking him off the plane.
Her thin-skinned response validated his sexism. She proved him right.
