My God what a SEXIST, MISOGYNIST PILOT HE IS, talking about ‘HIS’ flight attendant as if he OWNS HER.. or something.. He should’ve shown this woman the respect she deserves and let the drunk man put his hands all over her like the independent, self-sufficient liberated female that she is!
While the pilot is in charge of the airplane, everything is his to guard, including the flight attendant
My pilot would have never done that.
The Captain in Command is responsible for everything concerning that airplane until the craft is parked at the jetway, engines stopped, the doors opened and the flight totally completed. Even until all passengers have exited the plane, she IS his flight attendant.
The pilot’s patriarchal response sickens me.
I hope you’re joking. I am a pilot for a large US Airline and all of us refer to the flight attendants as “our flight attendants” or our girls unless one or more are men. And they in turn refer to us as “my pilots or my captain, first officer”. As another poster mentioned, we treat each other like family during the course of the trip. Most of us share stories about our spouses, kids, family pets, etc...
It’s just an airline thing that goes way back.
