Seriously, this is part of what's wrong with the business world and corporate America. People get in trouble for being honest. Who gives a **** if the pilot doesn't like having a crew full of old women and gay men? If they're offended by it, they should ****ing ball up and confront him about it. I understand this is an extreme example. But can anyone guess the number of civil rights violated here? That's right - 0! You know what the airline should have told the pilot? Be more careful! You know what they should have told everyone else? Shut the **** up.
And for the record, I hate it too when I am flying (which I do fairly regularly) and the flight attendants are old women and gay men. That is happening all too often. Let's get back to hiring hot girls and dressing them up like sluts. The pilot in this case was ****ing right.
Southwest Airlines was once well known for hiring only female flight attendants and dressing them in hot pants. At least one of its pilots apparently dislikes that it's not like that anymore.
"Eleven f***ing over-the-top f***ing a** f***ing homosexuals and a granny. Eleven! I mean, think of the odds of that," the unidentified pilot said during a March flight.
He was talking to his co-pilot after take off from Houston about his attempts at having a nightlife with Southwest Airlines crew members laying over in Chicago, a city he called "party land."
The pilot labeled his Chicago-based flight crew as a "continuous stream of gays and grannies and grandes."
"So in six months I went to the bar three times; in six months, three times. Once with the granny and the f*g, and I wished I hadn't gone," he said.

What the pilot didn't apparently know what that everything he was saying was being transmitted over an open microphone on the air traffic control frequency. Controllers and pilots heard it all and tried several times to curb the dialogue.
"OK, someone has a stuck mic and telling us about all their endeavors and we don't need to hear that," a controller is heard saying.
The airline suspended the pilot without pay, forced him to take sensitivity training and the put him back in the cockpit.
In a statement, the airline said the actions of the pilot are, "without question, inconsistent with the professional behavior and overall respect that we require from our employees."
TWU Local 556, which says it represents 9,400 flight attendants at Southwest Airlines, said the attendants are "deeply disappointed and angered by the insensitive and unprofessional comments," CNN reported.
