If that's how she gets off then good luck to her.

Maybe what bothers some people here is the complete lack of grounding in reality the video portrays this captain as having. Is that it? That she might be that far off in cloud-cuckoo land and still command a wide body jet? Maybe it makes some guys feel that any airhead can hold a command in this airline. Does it de-value the role of the captain or something? Who knows? And who really cares...

From preflighting in hat and coat instead of high-vis vest and earmuffs the entire video is deliberately rooted in fantasyland. This production is a slap in the face by the company, not by this pilot, to the other 4000 or so pilots. Maybe mostly to other women pilots. It also presumes the intended audience is comprised of morons. The sad thing is they found someone to go along with it.

She agreed to do this bizarre video for reasons no one else seems to be able to fathom. Good for her but now she can take the hits as they come.
