I usta like to squint across the aisle stand, drum my fingers on the glare shield and hiss through my teeth every time he touched something.

I can easily and frequently do fly 6 hours without idle chit chat....Never have understood the need to “vomit” all over a complete stranger. Frequently never have seen or heard of the copilot before and likely will not see them again....and likely dont want to see or hear from them again either.....Layovers are to get a little rest and time away from the stranger that you are trapped like a rat with in a 6’x5’ cell for hours on end

Absolutely. Just from some of the more rabid postings on this thread who have already stated they would refuse to fly with her at all. It's easy enough to envision a few comments degenerating into an "I won't fly with this flaming *********" situation, and unless someone kept the cockpit audio it would be impossible for the CP and HR to sort out the he said-she said.
For that matter, HR and legal might be frightened half to death that the young lady, WHO IS ALREADY SUING THE COMPANY, might be very happy to fly with - and record - the most misogynist pilots in the company to bolster her case and to demonstrate the company is NOT providing her with a workplace free of misogynist comments.
I imagine Alaska HR and management will be treading softly with this young lady until there is some resolution ACCEPTABLE TO HER and even then, if she remains in Alaska's employ, they will be falling all over themselves to investigate every allegation she makes about every male coworker who offends her. Given the level of hatred leveled at her in some of these posts, it ought to be interesting times - in the Chinese curse sense of the expression.

The public schools in this country are producing progressively more ignorant graduates with every passing year, falling further and further behind other first world countries.
Unemployment is less than 4% yet we have healthy people begging at the street corners.
We have 65,000 people dying annually because of opiate overdoses yet the Seattle City Council's preferred solution is to open a public shooting gallery and consider buying heroin for people so they don't have to steal things to fence to buy it.
And Seattle is about to outlaw plastic soda straws to save the planet from plastic pollution while doing nothing about the addicts that they allow to discard their used (plastic) syringes (and uncapped needles) in the public park and defecate on the sidewalks.
Yet you consider me calling a 39 year old female a young lady to be "a problem" unless I comply with your demand that I demonstrate to you 50 occasions where I have called 40- some year old male Air Force veterans young gentlemen?
Simian, you need to get a friggin' grip. You are not just embarrassing yourself, you are embarrassing the whole species.
