No, not an idiot. Married to a pilot, so I actually know how it works.

The only difference is he had a mic next to him which happened to be on at the time.

Sucks for him.

Even our own vice president swore in front of the American people & got away with it!

This Southwest slip up is small potatoes IMO.

More power to ya young stud...demand to work with some eye candy!
This is normal guy talk anywhere I've been, sorry ladies. I like his use of alliteration, especially the implementation of Grande to give it a poetic ring. You can tell he's college educated. He did kind of hit hard on gays though, which would make me uncomfortable, but nothing so extreme that I haven't heard 1000 times already living in the south. This is basically nothing, send him to a class on sensitivity training and call it a day.

Ummmm...whatever. Surely our very close family friend wants to lie to us about pilot salaries, because ????? Right.

Yes the "gay" remarks made me wince, and clearly crossed the line...but it was intended as a private conversation. I have very close buddies that are airline pilots. Two were groomsmen in my wedding. Flight attendants, when these guys were young and single, were eager to please. I used to joke that all I had to do was stand next to these guys at a bar to get fixed up. That's just the way it is. These girls are making $30K per year, on layovers with young, hansom, well spoken, single guys making $160K per year. Now put these young singles on a two day layover in Milan or London and you see where this guy is getting his ego from. I speak from experience, I joined CD when I was living in a "crash pad" for fight attendants and pilots in Kew Gardens New York. ....hence the name "padcrasher".

P.S the bad pilot behavior will end when young twenty something girls stop being driven by materialism.....which has a snow ball's chance in you know what.
We could possibly have mutual friends....one of my closest friends and a bridesmaid in my wedding lives in Kew Gardens with other flight attendants.
