Talking Pilots and Nuding Up!!

Found this little article on the msn site...

So come on, tell your stories, i know the majority of you have tried it!!!


Pilots sacked for stripping
From correspondents in Dallas
April 26, 2003

SOUTHWEST Airlines has sacked two pilots who reportedly took off all or part of their clothes in the cockpit while in flight, then summoned a flight attendant to bring them paper towels and soda water.

"We conducted a thorough investigation and terminated the two pilots involved for inappropriate conduct," Southwest Airlines spokeswoman Ginger Hardage said today.

The pilots may appeal. They argued that one of them removed his uniform after spilling coffee, and that the flight attendant saw them when she complied with their request to bring paper towels to the cockpit.

It was unclear why the second pilot was believed to have removed his clothes.

The men were not named.

They were dismissed earlier this month, but the incident, first reported in today's editions of USA Today, happened months ago.
