Oops...stuck mic houston center

This would be a perfect commercial for Southwest's "Wanna Get Away" campaign!

EDIT: suppose I should read the whole thread before being unoriginal.

I heard they got the guy's voice on tape. :)

Or maybe the SWA flight was the only one that did not say, "It wasn't us."

Ah! PROTIP: Give the F/O the radios after exercising "captain's prerogative" for hundreds of miles around.

I agree with MikeD, I don't condone talking like that all the time but it was definitely a stroke of bad luck... we all know it happens
 
Just out of curioisty, what happens to transmissions on a particular freq if someones mic has become irreperably 'stuck'?
 
I think we've all had conversations on the flight deck that had they been transmitted, would have left us big-time embarrassed.
 
As much whining as he did about it, I'm willing to bet he wouldn't have a chance even if Southwest hired aspiring models.

Get over it. Go to the bar and meet local women.

When my Dad was hired at SWA he moonlighted as a print model (along with a little bit of TV).

This stuff seems to be a pretty common complaint among SWA pilot's I've talked to. Apparently they refer to the FA hiring committee as the "gay mafia." The theory is that the mafia refuses to hire anyone but hot young guys and older women.

I don't think the LGBT group really did their research though. SWA and Colleen in particular was one of the first airlines to really accept openly homosexual cabin crews, hardly a homophobic environment.

Lets not pretend though that these kinds of conversations don't go on in many cockpits quite often. This guy just got the stroke of bad luck.

It could have been worse... especially if it were coming out of Vegas or Bangkok.

I've done a couple of Vegas turns and mostly it was like "You're an idiot, I told you to stay off the center field crap, run your pass line bet and two come bets with full odds, augh! ROOKIE"
