Audio of Southwest Pilots Hate-Filled Cockpit Tirade

An unnamed Houston-based Southwest Airlines pilot has been suspended from duty without pay after a tape of his expletive-ridden cockpit rant was uncovered by a Houston local news station. The pilot in question accidentally broadcast a hate-filled tirade bashing the appearance of female flight attendants over a Houston airport frequency on March 25, tying up the frequency for several minutes and making it inaccessible to air traffic controllers. In the recorded conversation with his co-pilot, the Southwest Airlines pilot complained extensively, in a derogatory manner, about the attractiveness of female flight attendants he would meet at bars. The pilot describes the women as “a continuous stream of gays and grannies and grandees” to his co-pilot. “I just wouldn’t want anyone to know if I had banged them … now I’m back in Houston, which is easily one of the ugliest bases,” he continues.
