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.

I reckon it bloody funny. Good to hear the airline guys are getting nude as well. Sure a slap on the hand and some counselling would fix the problem.

:D

You probably wont think it is funny after you have a think about it.

What do you think two nude guys would use paper towels for?

If one was female, well that would be bloody funny.

Are these the same two that were reported to have been taking matters in hand when the absolutely stunning but not amused F/A entered the Cockpit ?

I don't know about UK corporate policy, but these guys must have slept through the LUV sexual harassment seminar. I wish I could see what the FA looked like that these guys would risk their jobs for.

Hahahahahaha BIK_116.80.

What a way to be remembered. I understand Boeing are considering an official name change to "Warren".

It is a pitty she didn't see the funny side of it and give the blokes a helping hand. :E

On my last flight with a well known British Airline, I was made to fly across the Atlantic in just my Boxers. My supportive colleague on the flightdeck did the same, and we had the entire cabin crew up to visit the flightdeck. No reports of offensive behaviour, but by then it didn't really matter, did it! It was very liberating, the girls loved it, and I'd love to do it again!!!!

Maybe they just wanted to swipe their credit cards.

Did he leave his hat on?

Ha, maybe he should consider putting his resume in for DJ. I presume they might like a pilot like that~~~they certainly like to do things differently!

Yeah, tryed it once - but could not see out the front due to my huge member.

I know a driver who used to let the ferret out sometimes, on single crew ops, I might add.

The title of this one drew my attention!

How times have changed! If you are out there "Grock" do you remember a certain Casino-Sydney F-27 service during a catering strike?:O
