The news reports say he is the "father of one". And based on his age, I'm just assuming his son/daughter is basically a young adult. Can you imagine seeing a pic of your father with his stocking feet on the yoke and all the rest? Unimaginable.
So that's where the golden rivet is.

Crossdressers and others with 'alternating lifestyles' have been able to position themselves as victims of discrimination in recent years.
And, if you say that anything of a sexual nature is abnormal these days, you are asking for a lawsuit.
Consider this sympathetic media portrayal of a male pax who wears ladies undergarments while traveling:
PHOENIX -- A man who flies US Airways in women's skimpy clothing, including little more than undergarments at times, said Wednesday that he does so to make business travel more fun, and complies with employees' requests to cover up - though they rarely ask.
The 65-year-old Phoenix man, who spoke to The Chronicle on the condition that his name not be published, said he was unaware that a photo taken of him wearing ladies' blue underwear and black stockings at the airport in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., on June 9 had thrust him into a debate about racial profiling, travelers' security and appropriate airline attire.
The man said he works as a business consultant and flies several times a month as a preferred customer on US Airways. He's flown in scanty female clothing for several years and has put on a sweater or pants the few times an employee has asked, he said.
'I have the right'
"It has never been my intent to put people in a situation where they feel uncomfortable," the man said during a phone interview. "I try to respect other people's opinions. As long as my dress is not indecent from a legal perspective, and so long as the airline does not object, I have the right to wear what I wear. And others have the right to wear what they want to wear."

If the matter is simply cross dressing that's one thing, but this guy has his cock out in the flightdeck, pleasuring himself and documented himself doing such. Regardless of the phase of flight, that's a complete/whole other story altogether. I'd say the red line was crossed a while back.

As a member of the Health and Welfare Department of a pilot's union, I am concerned that he should have worn support (compression) hose. Compression hose (support stockings) are a proven deterrent to high altitude embolism and edema.

More like a blue vein......
