Nothing wrong with it in itself, but would a woman ever be removed from a flight if she made remarks about how she hopes the pilot is not thinking with his "lower head" while piloting? I think not!

Fucking Brazil indeed.

Brazil has been going PC for a few years now. Instead of imitating the best aspects of the U.S., those which allowed the U.S. to emerge as a superpower, Brazil is buying the very worst the U.S. has to export: feel-goodism, affirmative action, PC insanity...

To be fair, Brazil always had this smugness, this thinly-veiled moral superiority... which serves to compensate for Brazilians' feelings of inferiority. Brazilians think along these lines: "Sure, we have all these favelas and an enormous useless underclass, but at least we did not have de jure segregation like the U.S. had, and unlike Germany we did not gas our undesirables".

There is actually a helicopter company located just outside of Sao Paulo (Tambore) that is owned and operated by all women, including the pilots. For whatever reason, the airline industry there has made it a priority to employ women. I don't really have a problem with this. If the guy was being disruptive, they should have bounced him. We definitely toss passengers for a lot less than this. I don't think this is so much about being PC, nor do I see it being an affirmative action issue either. If someone has the skill to do a job, without special accommodations, that isn't affirmative action. If a passenger has a problem with the pilot, whatever it is, they should put that passenger on a different flight.

I wonder what he said:

Announcer: "Your pilot for today's flight is Captain Some Woman..."
Guy: "We'll all be fine, as long as she doesn't have to parallel park the plane."

Announcer: "Your pilot for today's flight is Captain Some Woman..."
Guy: "Just great. We'll probably get lost several times and fly in the slow lane the whole time. YOU CAN'T ASK FOR DIRECTIONS IN THE AIR, HONEY!"

Announcer: "Your pilot for today's flight is Captain Some Woman..."
Guy: "How can she cook the in-inflight meal and pilot the plane at the same time?"

Announcer: "Your pilot for today's flight is Captain Some Woman..."
Guy: "Fuck. Women are flying now? What's next: pigs?"

The possibilities are endless.

This is what I thought instantly.

Let's examine this a bit further. For example, the police forces in ontario Canada are biased rather discriminatatory in their recruitment procedures in many ways. The fire departments as well. Women and men do different physical tests. I worked in human resources for many years and know what the law states when it comes to hiring practices. The women in these tests have to lift less, run less and do everything below a man. Women claimed these tests were biased and these white knight beta (mother fu'ers) changed the testing to appease women to get their votes. Now standards are lowered and service will be less as women physically cannot keep with men as those women proved when they fought for sub standard tests. They want equality with a twist, that is to benefit themselves.

Now, did this airline or other airlines lower the standards in flight hours for women to get into the cockpit. Have men been pushed over for less qualified women to fly the plane? If yes, well then his jokes are valid. Would you want a less qualified person to fly your plane? But anybody who is rowdy on a plane should not be allowed to fly period. He should know when to button it.

Just found this,I was right, quote from wiki :
Now the paths start separating slightly. Guys need far more hours of actual flying then females do. Men will also need to get their ATP rating by themselves normally. (Women in Aviation will help females with this) At about 300 hours of twin time for women and 1200 hours for guys you can start looking for a job in the cargo area. Females may find it easier to enter some areas due to quotas needing to be filled. Charter flying will be much easier for girls to get into with fewer hours (as an example).

This is unacceptable!!!!!!!!!!!! Maybe the Brazilian dude had a valid arguement to poke fun at the possibly less qualified pilot.

It probably included "QUE ISSO?!?!". I'd put 100 bucks on it.
