This was a private conversation that was accidentally broadcast. People still have the right to private speech...even if the speech is boorish.

Carl, you don't have the right to free speech while at work and even furthermore while in a cockpit. If you sit and fire away sexual and racial slurs in the cockpit that is NOT covered by free speech. Co-workers have rights in the work place and maybe the FO doesn't want to listen to it. Maybe the FO is gay? You think the Capt is still exercising appropriate "free speech" as you call it?
