I'm curious what people think in light of the #metoo environment.

I'm not trying to throw shade on any group. Everyone should be treated equally.

I think the alleged behavior would be inappropriate because a working pilot should be focused and represents Delta in the situation. That being said, I feel no further action or even discussion is warranted. Not really a big deal.

I am wondering if a similar story, in the context of the #metoo environment, involving a hetero male pilot and a female pax would also warrant or result in no further discussion or remedy. Would society ignore a incident like that?

To recap the story: the male pax described being 'weirded out' during the flight, with his 'anxieties elevated' after deplaning and then saying he continued the conversation and eventually admitted the pilot was a 'nice guy'. Additionally, I don't think it is consequential in situations like these, but there is a power dynamic between pilot's and passengers in an operating environment. Would that be ignored if the genders and orientations were different?
