Certainly much more comforting than if he had dropped a prayer rug and begun praising allah.

Incredibly inappropriate. I would have complained if I was on that plane.

Beware the separation of church and airlines. Where's the ACLU?

Christian!! OMG!!! This guy is toast in our pagan society. If he had asked for Wiccan or told everyone to praise Allah he would have been a hero.

As captain of the airliner the pilot is a representative of American while on duty. Whether he likes it or not, his behavior is a direct reflection of the company.

If religious proselytizing becomes American Airlines policy, I won't be flying with them.

Whether the beliefs he shares are sexual religious or social is completely irrelevant.

When I buy a ticket I am purchasing transport from Point A to Point B. I do not expect the pilot to share his thoughts on religion, sexual behaviour, politics or any similar issues regardless of whether I agree with those beliefs or not. If one of my employees started using the workplace to spread their beliefs I'd take issue with that as well. He's paid to fly not to preach.

That said, I have no bar with him using his status as an airline pilot to add charisma to his preaching outside the workplace on his own time. (They're one of the few professions that still have a certain amount of mystique, especially to the young and impressionable).

That's a shame. I used to LIKE flying American Airlines.

But you wouldn't catch no QANTAS or Air New Zealand pilot doing that, at least not intentionally...

(Although possibly the last words of the captain of the Air NZ DC-10 that crashed into the side of Mt Erebus in Anatractica, 1979, killing all 240-odd aborad, was "Oh, Holy Sh...")

Can someone direct me to an airline that asks single women to identify themselves, and are open to a discussion?

Hmmmm...

I wonder if the pilot was having a British Airways moment?

One engine down and half the U.S. to go......

"This is your pilot speaking, how many of you back there believe in God?"
