Just So Fuckin' Sensitive

The other day an airline pilot in God’s Own Country was heard by air traffic controllers dissing the high content of old farts and (in his words)  "fags" who were Flight Attendants on his plane. The pilot wasn’t aware that his mic was on at the time and bemoaned the fact that he had to mix with them.  

The Flight Attendants got wind of this.  The pilot was suspended from flying and ordered to take Sensitivity Classes.

FuelMix thinks that’s pathetic.  Not his behaviour, but the order to take Sensitivity Classes.

Let’s do a reality check.

Certain jobs attract a high concentration of fags.  Flight Attendant is one of them.  They’ve been doing it for decades.  It’s well known in the West that certain airlines have flights that are stuffed with fag Flight Attendants.  In other words, the fag Cabin Crew totally outnumber the straight pilots that comprise the Flight Crew.  

Whilst a Flight Attendant’s work involves manual labour and a customer–focused zeal, it also breeds a certain attitude, mindset and behaviour that crosses all Time Zones.  With practice, it’s pretty easy to spot an off-duty fag Flight Attendant in a fag bar.   There’s something about them that just gives them away. 

Fag Flight Attendants are OK to mix with in a strictly limited kind of way.  Face it, just how many times should they be complimented for quoting verbatim, every issue of their In-Flight Magazine?  At some point one has to pity the thinking gay man or the frustrated str8 pilot who calls it like it is.

Secondly, airlines in the West are notorious for hiring old farts.  They’ve been doing it for decades.  That’s why whites are so thrilled and relieved to fly Asian airlines.  There’s more eye candy of genders and sexualities.  Not to mention the service and food are better.

So if there’s a high chance of an airline in the West being stuffed with fag and old fart Flight Attendants who outnumber the Flight Crew – and who both have the potential to further frustrate the Flight Crew on their downtime – exactly who should be taking the Sensitivity Classes?

Them.
