You sound like the kind of guy that would be struck with the wide-eyed stare of shock and maybe a little cognitive dissonance when you get called into the CP office over something like this.

Don’t let some thot ruin your career because she thought you weren’t being the “good human” you think you are.

Give them no opportunity.

The fact that you’re referring to someone as a Thot makes me feel like you don’t have a very nuanced understanding of how to act around women.

Forget getting taken to the cleaners civilly.......I’m talking CRIMINAL charges with 5 years in the slammer.

If one can get that sentence for willfully omitting something on a med certificate app, why shouldn’t a much more serious offense warrant at least as much time behind bars??

Why??
There are already criminal statutes about false accusations, the penalties for which involve jail time.

You’re kind of right. I used to be on point with knowing how to behave around women. I used to enjoy the flirtatious banter at work among other places. But with the advent of IG, tinder, #metoo, etc, I just don’t care to “act” in any way just to appease some thot at work.

The fact that you think you have to put on an “act” points to the very problem this thread is addressing; the disproportionate power FAs have over you despite having far less invested in their careers with little to no consequence regarding the authenticity of their claims.

Same is true for female pilots. I’ll drop a trip if I see that I’ll be sharing the cockpit with a female. Nothing personal. Nothing against her abilities. There are certain career problems that I want to stay LIGHTYEARS away from. DUI and false accusations come immediately to mind. I’ve worked way to hard to get blindsided by any of that.

Give them no opportunity.

That's a bit over the top.

You realize that you don’t have to have “flirtatious banter” with someone just because they’re a woman, right? Just treat people like people.

“Just treat people like people.”

As opposed to what, hamsters? It’s like you used five words arranged into a sentence and somehow managed to say literally nothing.

Look, it’s just my personal approach to just be professional in my interactions with them and do it in a non-private setting. No small talk, no innuendo, just business. I get that it might seem overboard to some now, but just give it a year or two...

All men in most workplaces have targets on their backs now. Some are slower to realize it than others.

It appears that your approach is to either attempt to flirt with female coworkers or run away from them (and throwing insults over your shoulder) like you’re scared of interacting with them. That’s not exactly the hallmark of a “professional.”

No, men who don’t behave appropriately around women have targets on their backs.

You’re not exactly being professional in your interaction if you’re too terrified to fly with them.
