Go listen to that SWA pilot rant again. It is truly an opus. To be able to offend that many people...both inside and outside the company...in such a short span was a work that only be considered artistic genius. Offending hordes of homosexuals, fat chicks, old chicks, and the entire Houston crew base...all in what...less than 3 minutes? And to close the deal getting to go home to the wife and explain what exactly "doable" means what constitutes such criteria...

I pulled that thing up on the youtube a while back for a refresher. Even when I knew where the conversation was going, I was in awe. Like the Mona Lisa, the Sistine Chapel, or the limerick that includes "Nantucket", there are certain works of art that have lasting emotional impact years after you've seen or heard them. Even when I try to be a dick, and work at it, ****ing that many people off in such a short spiel is not easy, and it takes a certain natural talent to make that happen. God bless that pilot--for brightening my life and so many others with a little levity, and also helping the HR departments' job security by allowing them to force us to watch many future HR online CBT training modules. Without a few pilots like us, a bunch of HR people would be out of work.

(The skywest pilot who sucks up in the end is douche, however.)

It was an amazing feat to spew all of it in a few minutes.

I wonder how he is doing...would it not be awkward to continue working with people that know he is “the rant guy”? Wonder what that does for CRM when said FAs fly with him.

If you're gonna go out, may as well go all the way. Like albief said above, I was surprised how much crap he fit into a 3 minute speech.

Seems to "rich" to be accidental, almost seems like a setup in the way the conversation was tee'd up, and then broadcast at just the right moment.
I've never heard a SWA jet stuck on hot mic before, but maybe the stars all aligned. This is why you need to fly a plane that doesn't need ICS.

It was real. Guy almost got fired (I'm sure the union saved him but just barely), and he had to do some remedial stuff by way of apology to most of his fellow employees. He may have left SWA eventually?

One of the best features of the 800 is stuck mic protection!

There is a lot more to the after story including being mercilessly harassed by a certain employee group.
