Over on the CC thread...
Shaka Zulu has posted up a BASSA rant about sexism amongst the pilot/management community. It's a bit of a larf. This is the best sentence:
It would appear that cabin crew, and by de facto, predominantly women, had to be kept in their place at any cost.
I like the faulty use of Latin so much - no-one uses these little phrases in a public forum if they have any sense. It appears a bit conceited to start with, and it doesn't communicate to all who read it either. But when you get it wrong as well. Ha Ha.
Worse still is the logic - it goes like this:
Many CC are women, when one is persecuted on the basis of one's sex it is sexist, therefore if the mainly male BA/pilots/management/forum members etc do not accept our terms they are being sexist.
The Latin for this type of wonky thinking is cum hoc ergo propter hoc!
Sorry, couldn't resist.
