Female pilot for Brazilian airline tosses passenger off flight for making sexist remarks
Unbelievable... A Brazilian airline says one of its female pilots tossed a passenger off a flight because he was making sexist comments about women flying planes... (www.washingtonpost.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
She should have waited until she was at 10,000 feet.
I agree with Ron and Jeff. Finally a corporate culture that supports it's employees.
The Captain is the boss of the flight. The guy was an idiot.
You're ridiculous. If the captain thought he dressed funny, should she have the right to throw him off the airplane? Who is the customer, who is workng for who? If it is not a safety issue, this pilot was out of line.
Way to go girl, this is typical of the latin machismo who seem to feel that only THEY can do MALE jobs but not simple simpering women (who in their eyes are only there to satisfy them) I totally disagree that the woman in question should have to take this crap just because some men feel that is the right thing for a woman to do to be superior, as the pilot she IS superior to the bozo in the back.
...why is this so unbelievable? If I felt someone was undermining my authority, I'd "ask" him to get off the plane also...lol.
sexist remarks = undermining authority?
Depends what they were. If he was saying that women can't fly and she was the Captain of the flight, than yes, that is undermining her authority. And yes, she, as an airline Captain, has the authority to deny service to anyone for any reason. I hope they NEVER take that away. Kudos to her.
