"A Southwest Airlines pilot is back in the skies after accidentally broadcasting a profane, gay-bashing tirade directed at the Chicago-based flight crews he worked with.
The pilot, whose name the airlines did not choose to disclose, apparently went through diversity training after describing the crews as a "continuous stream of gays and grannies and grandes" and "eleven f***ing over-the-top, f***ing a**-f***ing homosexuals."

(Scroll down for a transcript of his remarks.)

With his headset microphone stuck on "broadcast," his tirade went out to air traffic control and all the other aircraft in the area.

Southwest said Wednesday that the pilot was reinstated after going through diversity training. The incident happened in March and was reported this week by KPRC-TV in Houston.

"The actions of this pilot are, without question, inconsistent with the professional behavior and overall respect that we require from our employees," said Southwest spokeswoman Brandy King. She said the pilot was reprimanded and suspended without pay, although she wouldn't say for how long. She said he apologized to air-traffic controllers and his bosses at Southwest.

Southwest said it also apologized to its flight attendants and pilots."

Side Bar ~ Please tell me The Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLADD) is aware of this.

The pilot is at work . . . Like really! I need Southwest to disclose how long he was reprimanded and preferably in my opinion a 3-7 day suspension without pay would suffice.  

If comedian Tracy Morgan can hold a press conference and meet with homeless gay and lesbian youth, damn-it Southwest Airlines can have this pilot meet with homeless gay and lesbian youth as part of his diversity training.

I could be wrong, but I believe there has to be a large gay population of flight attendants that work for Southwest Airlines that are outraged . . .  Put this pilot face and name on blast!!!!

Hey, were part of the Youtube, Facebook, Twitter generation.  Let his face and name get out to the public, I bet he think twice before broadcasting his opinions to the air traffic control.
