Sorry, but after two decades in the airline piloting profession I feel confident that there’s a higher percentage of FA’s who fit the “crazy” description than pilots that do. COLD, HARD TRUTH.

I’m not paranoid and don’t mind socializing with them but one’s got to be a good judge of character and know when to ask for the check.

I flew for a pax carrier for a couple of years until I was furloughed, and I have to admit I was not particularly comfortable with the FA aspect of it. There were all types. I can see having some paranoia about hanging out with some of them. However, I've never felt uncomfortable having a meal or a drink with a fellow crewmember. Ever. I distinctly enjoy just dealing with boxes and flying instead of pax and FA's. Even the occasional sea lion crapping and rolling in it (letting off an ungodly smell) is something I can live with.

Because he's a sexual predator? You're taking the word of a guy with kids and a wife (whom he cheated on, btw) over a single female with everything to lose and nothing to gain? That is logical.

Amen. Freight is great! You eliminate 90% of the problems passenger airline pilots routinely have to deal with.

Too long of a story to put here, but many years ago I learned to use the buddy system. I am not at risk for committing infidelity (or rape, for that matter), but in certain circumstances, a third party present or a room full of people can preclude and/or preempt a misunderstanding, or worse.

Right. After she got an attorney and filed suit. If you don't think her attorneys were a part of her going public, and aren't manipulating this behind the scenes I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you. Cheap.

This is typical. You find an aggrieved client, file suit, go public and hope the other side caves and pays big $$$ and you find more clients coming out of the woodwork.

This doesn't make her a liar, nor does it mean she is a saint. Its just how these things work, and the next hammer to fall will be suits at other airlines.

My comments weren't directed at you since you are one of the more rational ones here

Do you guys think you have any idea of the creeps in your ranks? With all due respect, you can't and you don't.

Rape drugs are extremely common, his wife may even have a prescription for one. Xanax, Valium, etc are all date rape drugs. The problem with her story is that the symptoms she is describing, require heavy drinking with the date rape drugs. Simply taking even Flunitrazepam(roofie), will not cause her symptoms unless she is legally intoxicated. Most women who claim they were drugged and raped, when tested by police immediately after, were just drunk, and not actually drugged when raped.

The underwear stashed in the purse is an odd tidbit. Have you ever done something surprisingly sensible when drunk? I.e. advil (sorry liver) and lots of water before going to bed. Waking to an alarm that you dont remember setting? Why would a rapist put underwear in her purse? That almost seems thoughtful.

Have you ever been drugged? I have TWICE, both at social functions. I had only had one or two drinks so it most definitely wasn't the alcohol.
