What does political correctness have to do with using a defamatory word?

There isn't anything poltical about it, it is just rude and hateful.

 

Just a question? Did you say anything to the first or second person you heard the derogatory statements from? I'm assuming you didn't since you're willing to run & "turn their a$$es in" to HR?

Your last sentence qualifies your post for the "Most Ironic Post of the Day" award!! You're "tired of the ignorance"? Well then, ERDUDE32, maybe next time you should say something about the "ignorance" & "inappropriateness", instead of hiding the comments away in your little bag of secrets, only later taking them out on an Internet forum or threatening job action.

P.S. Please don't use some lame excuse about not wanting to do an "on-the-spot" correction because of it affecting the crew (dynamic) environment.

 

News takes huntin to a whole new level...

 

Position and hold, amirite??

 

Still love the female ramp controller "no I can't hold you down there, I'm going to need to move you to a place i can hold you."

To the immature mind, it was great.

 

FTB, 80 and GJ: All valid points. You're absolutely right, Pro Stan's is the best way to handle this. Nuff said.

 

I don't want to get into any trouble with HR, so instead of using any racial, ethnic, gender, age, religion or sexual preference type slurs, I keep it simple;

Hey Azzhole!

See how easy that is?

Nobody is offended that way!

 

I hate everyone equally. Problem solved.

Gol Shifts to Add Routes Abroad With Cuts Reaching Limit - Bloomberg

"In targeting Santo Domingo as a place to reach into the U.S. and other markets and boost sales in foreign currency such as the dollar, Gol is taking a “logical” step, said Stephen Trent, a Citigroup Inc. analyst in New York.
“They are tapping into high-density long-haul traffic where there’s been a low supply of Brazil-originating flights to the U.S.,” he said. “These guys really are in a good position to return to more normal growth and profitability.”

Remember when we all got anxious as the GOL thing was announced? The ALPA APC reps said "nothing to worry about - GOL flying is pretty much all domestic..." Well, maybe not so much.

Also, I hope we have some cash left over after the stock buy back and dividends. Our Latest and Greatest international "partner" V Atlantic just announced record losses. They might need a further cash infusion soon if we are going to use them to do our international flying for us! They have a lot of big planes that need to be filled with Delta passengers...
