Is it really true . . .

[prepmatt02]

A female friend of mine who is considering changing careers and becoming a flight attendant has asked me (since I am studying for my PPL) if pilots tend to be drunk-womnaizers. In my experiance the answer is no, but my experiance is 1 flight instructor. I was wondering if anyone could help her out! Thanks

Ofcourse, everything you always hear about pilots is true. :)

It is so funny when the wedding ring comes off when they start to fly. Unfortunately the flight deck are stereotyped and there are some really desent ones out there(about 10%). You will know the sleazy ones when your on a legover (sorry I meant layover) and you go out for a meal. If the flight deck buy a round of drinks and only buy the drinks for the girls then you know that hes after something. Which airline is she going to?

Stay safe and happy flying!
p.s. Keep your chastity belt on!!!!!

Nightstopped in Italy last night and the cabin crew didn't want to go for a swift half, even if I got the round in. Captain wasn't feeling too well, late pick up today = one evening all by myself in front of CNN and 'My Best Friend's wedding' dubbed into Italian.
I'd like to be a womanising hard-drinking pilot, but it would mean being a sad butch alcoholic (which I am definitely not).
Come on, cabin crew. Prove to me that you do sometimes have fun down route. I can't believe you're all no fun. I thought it was our job to be the boring sensible ones.

Are all pilots drunk womanisers?
Are all F/As easy lays?
The stereotypes are nasty for both professions are they not?
An faithful person will be faithful whatever their profession, as will an unfaithful person.
Opportunities occur whatever your job is: it's up to you whether you take them.

Thinks....

1/First post
2/Looking for information on typical aviation stereotypes
3/Request for a 3rd party..hmmm

Possible Journalist? Maybe that 'Cosmopolitan' American Lady has returned under a new name :)

I'm always wary of this type of post, sorry Prepmatt if it's genuine, as too many people have been hurt recently by just these stereotypes you mention being applied to them.

I think we're all wary of this kind of posts.

Could that be the reason I've never seen a single serious reaction on questions like this?

[Superpilut]

So prepmatt, what kind of experience did you get from this instructor?? Never can start too early... and what did you mean with drunk-womanizers? That we only go after the drunk women? That's not vary charming to say!
By the way, it takes two to Tango, so I don't think you can blame one party when something happens.
And when you don't get any serious answers, check out http://www.pt7.com/. Maybe they can help you out ;)

If you can't save the engine...save the airframe :D

Since Prepmatt indicates in his/her post that they are studying for their PPL perhaps they could tell us a bit about their training, where, what stage in their training etc. By doing so they could at least establish some credibility.

Gday Tarantella,
I guess that last weeks goings on certainly supports the pilots being drunk bit!!

Now if only I could get the womanising bit right!! :)
