HOUSTON -- Southwest Airlines Co. announced Wednesday that it had suspended a steer who relay a everyday rant picked up on an air-traffic dominance frequency at one's disposal to many pilots. The pilot, a captain whose popularity the airline declined to disclose, had his cockpit microphone switched to an air-traffic frequency while he complained to his word go fuzz about what he viewed as slender dating pickings amongst the Chicago-based flight attendants with whom he flew for four weeks.

Southwest said the captain was suspended without remit for an undisclosed bulk of while and sent to "sensitivity training." He is now back on the job, the airline said.

The airman then said the Houston band foot is "one of the ugliest" in the airline. "It's all (expletive) tumbledown dudes and grannies and possibly a problem of cunning chicks.
" A aeronaut in another slide told the Houston controller: "That was not us…and they be amazed why airline pilots have a miasmic reputation." A cicerone from yet another smooth chimed in, "And it wasn't us either." The controller replied, "Roger. I didn't of that was you.
