Female Airline Captain Puts Passenger In His Place After Sexist Note

 

It's not unusual for airline pilots to receive notes or drawings from their youngest passengers. But on Sunday, WestJet Airlines Captain Carey Smith Steacy received a sexist note, scrawled on a napkin from an adult male. Steacy responded by posting the note to Facebook, along with her own brilliant reply.

 

 

The passenger identified himself as "David from seat 12E" in spite of being too cowardly to meet Captain Steacy in person. I love that the photo of the note was taken with the napkin clipped to the yoke of Steacy's Captain's seat on the Boeing 737 she was flying.

Not PC? Really, David? Oh, the IRONY!

 

Captain Steacy's reply on Facebook read:

"To David in 12E on my flight #463 from Calgary to Victoria today. It was my pleasure flying you safely to your destination. Thank you for the note you discreetly left me on your seat. I respectfully disagree with your opinion that the 'cockpit,' (we now call it the flight deck as no cocks are required), is no place for a lady. In fact, there are no places that are not for ladies anymore. You made sure to ask the flight attendants before we left if I had enough hours to be the Captain so safety is important to you, too.

I have heard many comments from people throughout my 17-year career as a pilot. Most of them positive. Your note is, without a doubt, the funniest. It was a joke, right? RIGHT?? I thought, not. You were more than welcome to deplane when you heard I was a 'fair lady'.

You have that right. Funny, we all, us humans, have the same rights in this great free country of ours. Now, back to my most important role, being a mother."
