Watch your language or close the door.
Well the language PC police are alive and well. Just heard on the morning news that passengers complained and police removed a NWA Captain from the flight because he was using foul language (F word) in the cockpit. NWA had to cancell the flight. Next thing will be "authorities" listening to cockpit tapes after each flight to determine if charges should be brought. 
It may not be "professional" but removal like being a "Threat to the flight" is really dumb.

How do you lay an f-bomb,, and this is the best part
Northwest wouldn't comment further beyond a statement that said the flight was canceled due to inappropriate language by a crewmember.

Seems like a radical action to remove a pilot for cussing, but if a pilot is angry enough to show it they are violating the "IMSAFE" check although I am not sure which FAR covers it. IMSAFE of course includes emotional stability (E).

I suppose Chuck Yeager never use the F word while testing various aircraft.
