It's a shame she only received the note after landing. Had she known beforehand, she could have removed herself from the cockpit during the flight and found a more suitable seat in the passenger cabin. Perhaps 'David' could have volunteered to take over?

Fuck that guy.

Few weeks ago I ran across this: 3-year-old girl already knows her "place"

I found it poignant, because I was an "A-Team" fan when I was a kid and it took me 40 years and a ride on a Disneyland Virtual Reality ride for me to realize-- I din't want so much o be Murdock's girlfriend as I wanted to be Murdock. I mean, both would have been cool-- but boy, did I want to fly that helicopter.

This, too [Big Grin]

"OMG! I'm having a hot flash, or a premenstrual attack! OMG, DOOOWN we go, oh wait my estrogen has balanced,back on keel Sorry about that, people."

As the captain says, though, the fact that the uniform reaction of her crew was "what the FUCK?" is encouraging. Not, "Don't take it personally." Not, "You just have to put up with it," But "That is definitely uncool." Good to have the backup of your team mates.

Just think about this poor bastard's life. Everywhere he goes women are in charge of things instead of him. Everywhere he goes women are doing things he cannot do.

Everywhere he goes women are more successful than him.

Want to know how I figure that? How else would he have not known that women were pilots? He clearly has not been able to afford to fly since he hatched somewhere in the Dark Ages.

Seriously, this guy is torturing himself every day of his life. He could get help; help I am not offering him.

Sometimes the saddest clowns are the ones who do it to themselves.

He doesn't seem to have the courage of his convictions, given that the best he could do was to passive-aggressively leave the note on his seat, rather than actually say it to her face.

And on a napkin! Surely if you're in the habit of making bigoted observations like that, you'd keep a proper notebook with you. After all, as Tortuf points out, every day he might meet a woman bus driver, doctor, lawyer, police officer. Or a teacher!

And it obviously hasn't occurred to him that it's possible to be a pilot and a mother at the same time. If you're not full-time, you shouldn't bother.

As a woman, a pilot and a priest I should clearly just pack up and go back to my kitchen. Oh, wait, no. I won't, because in my world it's 2014.

Martha Stewart?! Oh no, no, no, no, my dear! She is a FEMINIST and thinks she can operate an empire WITHOUT a man! No, no, dearie, the lady (not a woman, mind you, but a LADY!) you want to model yourself after is Phyllis Schlafly! Now, there's a lady who knows her place! Also you might try emulating the lovely helpmeet of Tim LaHaye, Beverly LaHaye, who knows that God, the great Sky Father wants women (oops! Ladies!) to be vessels to bring forth mostly male children.

But the poor little man is illiterate, we have to make allowances. His Janet and John books have not prepared him sufficiently for; 'look, John, look at the plane. Janet is flying the plane.'

By the way, in 1983 I wanted to be a pilot, and I changed my mind when someone told me I'd need A1 eyesight and a maths A level. Clearly neither those was going to happen, so I switched ambitions. At no point did any one suggest gender was a problem or issue, and it certainly never crossed my mind.

Never ceases to amaze me that some cultures are lagging half a century behind...

How do you know? Just because he was flying on a Canadian airline doesn't mean he's not American or Episcopalian. He may have moved north to escape the Episcopal church that is clearly under Satanic control appointing a bishop who's from a family of female aviators.

It's worth being angry that our society is such that somebody can have his attitudes and not be ashamed. And not just one somebody. Look at all the mouth-breathers coming to his defense (not on this thread but out there). Without shame. That's worth being angry about.

Nope, that's not what I said. I said it's boring to get angry about that here, given the inevitable (and yes, justified) one-sidedness of the ensuing response. Perhaps we could hand out a Rumpelstilzchen award to the most convincing display of outrage, just to keep his thread from deteriorating into a discussion of mousethief's fetish for scroll bars?

Nope, that's not what I said. I said it's boring to get angry about that here, given the inevitable (and yes, justified) one-sidedness of the ensuing response. Perhaps we could hand out a Rumpelstilzchen award to the most convincing display of outrage, just to keep his thread from deteriorating into a discussion of mousethief's fetish for scroll bars?
Good idea. You win.

You mean David's flight didn't wind up smashed into the side of a mountain? God be praised; miracles still happen. I suppose the co-pilot (a penis&testicle equipped person) actually had control of the plane, much like a driving instructor can, in an instant, save the car from a crash.

Or even more fun: let's discuss the little Buddha's problem with non-attachment. She's so very unzen.

Or we can go deeper and discuss my irritation with Buddhist philosophies and how so many westerners think Buddhism is the best thing since sliced bread.

Bunch of misguided try hards.

Zen is but one form of Buddhism and if you want something to be detached, step a bit closer.

You have a very poor understanding of religious history and human psychology, it would appear. You judge a religion by a few of its followers? That does not bode well if you ever study the history of Christianity....

But then she could be breastfeeding as she comes into land. I may never get on a plane again!

I'd like to see Evensong and IngoB debate penises. Because they're both dicks.
