"I'm not flying with a female at the controls"
Looks like his wish came true. Must have been his lucky day.
Is it just me, or does the title make it sound as if he was ejected mid-flight?

He reportedly shouted: "Someone should have told me the captain was a woman. "I'm not flying with a female at the controls".

At which point the Captain should have pushed back and not let him off!

According to other passengers interviewed after the flight he was quite a bit more disruptive than the linked article suggests and, apart from his comments about the captain, he also refused to obey the FAs instructions to sit down again during pushback. His rant lasted for some time, and the flight was delayed by 40 minutes as a result.
If he doesn't want to fly with female pilots he'd better take the bus, every airline here employs women pilots......but then again we have women bus drivers too !!!
Muppet!!!!!

Quote from beardy ;
Sorry, I couldn't resist this headline:
Female pilot for Brazilian airline tosses passenger off flight for making sexist remarks
beardy, please don't post comments like that again. I now have to clean the coffee off my keyboard and monitor.

Don't know what the guy's problem was. I've heard that they've always been pretty good with narrow landing strips.
Well, since we're talking about Brazilians here, it does indeed sound like she had a close shave and he must have been nuts .......

Unusual
Beardy,
Seems a bit of a stiff penalty.
And most unusual for a stick-shaker activation while still at the ramp?
