Islandcool 0 #1 April 25, 2003 today and I'm not wearing any pants. Posted 7:50 a.m. ET - Friday Southwest fires pilots for takeoff — of their uniforms Maybe "fly the friendly skies" should be Southwest's slogan. USA TODAY reports that the discount giant fired two pilots for allegedly taking off all or most of their clothes in the cockpit of their aircraft. "Southwest Airlines conducted a thorough investigation and terminated the two pilots involved for inappropriate conduct," says spokeswoman Ginger Hardage. The pilots are said to be appealing their termination, contending that one of them removed his uniform after coffee was spilled. A flight attendant saw them after being summoned to the cockpit to bring paper towels and soda water. There has to be more to this story. Ed Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest #2 April 25, 2003 Gotta love SWA - even the pilots are casual! I'm assuming this was a mixed crew - right?"The mouse does not know life until it is in the mouth of the cat." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest #5 April 25, 2003 Makes you wonder. Maybe it was balmy on the flight deck (they sure get that way sometimes!), so the crew stripped down to skivvies to be more comfortable. OTOH, maybe it was a crew trying to get some "Mile High" action. Maybe my assumption of a "mixed crew" was flawed, as in maybe they were "the same" as in maybe they weren't heterogenous...I could go on and on......maybe I should just STFU now...

It was to male pilots. And they say that one had spilled coffee on himself. A FA saw him when she was summoned to the cockpit with papertowels and soda water. But with the sexual harasment hair trigger that many have it may be they need to be seen as "doing something about this."......we'll see. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
