Thinking about taking a few minutes to evaluate the attractiveness of your co-workers to the guy or girl who sits next to you? Maybe don’t do it over the PA system? Or into a bullhorn? Or near a recording device?
In the raunchy rant, the unidentified pilot unleashed a slew of expletives as he ripped into his co-workers’ sexuality, age and size…”There’s 12 flight attendants…Eleven (expletive) over the top (expletive), (expletive) homosexuals and a granny,” the pilot said, clearly unaware his cockpit microphone became stuck open. “Eleven. I mean, think of the odds of that. I thought I was in Chicago, which was party-land. “After that, it was just a continuous stream of gays and grannies and grands.” Seconds later, the pilot offered his unsavory views of Houston flight attendants. “Now I’m back in Houston, which is easily one of the ugliest bases,” the pilot told his co-pilot in the recording obtained by Houston TV station KPRC. “I mean it’s all these (expletive) old dudes and grannies and there’s like maybe a handful of cute chicks.”
The diatribe, broadcast over the Houston air traffic control radio frequency on March 25, blocked communication between air traffic controllers and other pilots for more than two minutes, ABC News reported. At one point, the air traffic controller in Houston tried to interrupt the onslaught. “OK, whoever is, uh, transmitting, better watch what you’re saying,” the controller said.
Southwest Airlines suspends pilot after sexist, profanity-laced rant broadcast across Texas airspace [NYDN]
He Just said what we were all thinking.
Can someone from Texas please explain how Houston girls could be so hideous and Austin girls are unreal?
-Guy who is genuinely curious
This guy has future Citigroup branch manager written all over him
The amount of hot ass making a b line from UT to 6th street helps out the scenery….
Chicago, well, that’s golden. You see, I’ve got this thing, at O’Hare, in the SkyLounge, and I’m not just going to give it up for nothing.

I’m guessing it was instead meant to be sent to the cabin intercom as part of Southwest’s humor-injected style of customer service.
You keep thinking that.
Austin is a paradise full of UT girls and undereducated/underemployed waitresses who still believe in cheap beer and love. There are apartments in the middle of town for $500 per month and swimming pools where beautiful girls don’t seem to like wearing tops. The average girl here is an 8.5 and thinks that she is below average. You can get drunk at a bar for $12.
Good luck getting a job in finance there unless you want to work for the state or think 20M AUM makes you a player.
Houston is a polluted city full of fat rednecks. Its so ungodly humid that nobody ever goes outside to exercise or get a tan.
I just moved from Austin to Newport Beach, make twice as much money, and regret my decision on a daily basis.
The guy is exactly right, it’s why I fly private and only hire supermodels on Trump Air.
Pilot was probably flying a shitbucket from 1970 and thought it was the good old days. Comments totally acceptable circa 1970.
This guy nailed it.
-UT attendee, never grad
Pics or it didnt’ happen.
Learned how to spell @ UT.
Joey, have you ever seen a grown man naked?
Dead on accurate description of Austin. No so much on Houston. Would recommend some of you Yanks come down to Texas during the fall for a UT game. By halftime, you’ll be on the phone with your MD begging to set up shop in Austin.
Do you like movies about gladiators?
Houston is a base for Southwest at Hobby. All the old chicks, and old dudes with seniority get the best flights.
Houston has a decent amount of hot chicks, just not the same level as Austin or Dallas. Very cosmopolitan blend down here.
I hear you. Moved here from Big D, and except for the job and the money, regret that every day.
Austin is awesome! Frankenstein could get laid after eleven o’clock at almost any bar. I see old married dudes with the white mark showing where their wedding rings have just been taken off, hooking up all night!! I miss it. Got transferred to “Birmingham, Nothing To Do, Alabama and it sucks!!!! The people are fat, rude, and religious zealots, to boot.
I used to shout stuff like this over the hoot all the time. No big deal.
Flew into Hawaii on an Asian carrier. Lovely stewardesses, acceptable food and free drinks. Transferred to a American carrier in HNL and was greeted by grannies, cramped seating, a dirty aircraft, and $1 a bottle for water. FAIL.
Pay’s not bad at TX Teachers.
Have you ever been in a Turkish prison?
I feel ya..poor pilot. It’s like taking the metro north Hudson line.
Agreed. If you’re going to knock Houston, you complain about fat, poor minorities; not fat, poor whites.

Haha valid.
I’m going to Texas in November, so will make Austin a stop on the tour after such eloquence.
