I see the PC Police are already all over this, when they should have no business even hearing that recording, or anyone else for that matter. He was just calling it what it is.. in a pretty rather brash way, however.
That is funny stuff. Hope he doesn't catch too much crap for it, and sure makes you look back at all those different convos we all have had that could have potentially ended in similar fashion. Check your mic is right.

At least he feels the same way about his FA's as we do. Except it sounds like he may partake. hence the word "moped" being used.
I remember when I was building time for my commercial certificate, I flew my mom in a C-152 from the ATL area down to Tallahassee and back. On the return, this guy in a bonanza got a stuck mic on freq. The dialog was absolutely classic, but not something I wanted my mom to hear! He very eloquently described tapping this chick after the bar the previous night. I kept turning the freq down lower and lower, only for my mom to go "wait what are they talking about?"
"I don't know, Mom."
I say we burn the guy at the stake.

Stuck mic's are accidents. Before anyone burns this guy at the stake, ask this question: Is everything you say in a day suitable to be broadcast world wide? How many congressman, judges, governors, CEO's etc., would be pure as the driven snow if their conversations were taped unwittingly?
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?
A comment here or there...whatever. But this guy was going off and completely ignorant to the fact that the freq went silent.
