The inmates are running the asylum. The dimmest have been granted the ability to destroy careers at will and have been instructed by Hollyweird (#MeToo), politicians ("men need to just step up and shut up!"), media and news outlets, and their favorite celebrities to draw the weapon at the first indication of 'questionable dialogue'. Amazing that harassment, originally designed to address sexual advances intended to threaten the victim's career, to simple comments.

Ha!
Love it!
I THINK I understand what this # or "hashtag" BS means. Even with my vague-ish understanding...........
I'd love to start an #MU-2 movement! Who is with me? We can swap stories of Garretts, Spoilers, Icing, Tuna Cans and this rare and illusive thing we used to call "cancelled checks."
Oh and Guys....I agree 100 percent with your comments. This "me too" thing has gone too far.
It's for if your Chief Pilot or Instructor, while at the paper tiger for a "private session," starts some heavy petting and tells you the ride will go one Hell of a lot smoother if you just have some fun. Not for if you suddenly feel offended by the term "oral exam," AFTER you fear you may not have done so well on yours.
Ad Astra!

Sexual innuendo isnt always what its about- get your mind out of the gutter. The weak are offended by anything they dont understand or agree with in this current model.

As a female pilot, potentially aspiring to apply at Alaska, I have to say...........I do so solemnly hope we, as newbie female FO's aren't tossed out to the "look but don't touch" pile; due to this hot %^@#$)& mess. Part of the reason I became a pilot was because of the camaraderie amongst ourselves.
Our brotherhood, even IF we were women. It exists in so VERY few fields. Guys, please. If we loose that....we are simply overpaid, over glorified, sky borne bus drivers.
We are MORE than that. We have YEARS of experience, DECADES of knowledge and a mountain of experience to bring to this new digitalized age. Let us NOT separate this by sex. I am not asking for a handout, a hand UP or ANY advantage when it comes to hiring. Just for a un tinted chance.
I just don't want to feel like the lone Martyr in a line of Suffragettes. We have to make a stand at some point. Guys, I love you all, you are my friends, pals, confidants. But you have NO idea, how hard it is to BREAK INTO a field nearly completely dominated by men.............
We don't need a handout, like in the 80's. But we might need a hand up. It's hard. Harder than you think. Have you ever been handed a coat and asked to rack it? Have you ever been asked for a pre takeoff drink? Have you EVER had ANYONE walk off your plane simply because of your sex?????????
No??????????????
Ask a female pilot. We've seen it all. Yes there are Alarmists and Gals who take advantage of this temporary female flame. But most of us are just like you. We flew ****ty MU-2's in Marginal weather to deliver not that important checks to banks that could care less. We flew triple mailer's to Eskimo Villages day after day, after day. We did the GRIND...........JUST like you did.
YET we are grouped with them, the whiny, unfair Feminists ....................WHY????
Please guys. I am a pretty cool Chick to hang out with. I won't sue you if we share a shot of Jamison after a 3 legger. I WANT that camraderie..........I wan't that Brotherhood.
It is a huge reason I became a pilot. Let's not let that fade away.
I miss you guys..............lets share the sky, despite our sex.......not. because of it.
Ad Astra per Aspara!

You really think it's that simple? Guys are getting in hot water today for complimenting women.
In 50 years there will be no courting, dating or seduction. Everything will have to be in writing (probably through an app.)

The usage was correct:
“Situational irony involves a striking reversal of what is expected or intended: a person sidesteps a pothole to avoid injury and in doing so steps into another pothole and injures themselves.”
—Merriam Webster
Another bad post risks stepping into a ban-hole. Given the title of this thread, that would be very ironic.
