The subliminal message of "pilot putz" has been fashionable for years and years and years, but most are above responding to it, unlike the keepers, who are very thin of skin.

Well, I guess I need to fess up as I'm the one who called the MEC Duty officer and told him about the "FLY" button. He told me he would call me back after he watched it, then did and said he showed it to the MEC Vice Chair who was not amused and put in a call to Ed.

At the end of the safety videos the aircraft was taking the runway and the pilot reached down and pressed a red button that said fly. I think FTB or someone posted a picture of it a few pages back.

I guess I am one of those guys.
I usually have very thick skin but I admit it rubbed me the wrong way.
Humor depends on who tells the joke, how it is told, context etc.. Our employer fueling a stereotype that our job is easy, crosses that line. If they made fun of themselves (Bankruptcy button) in the video and other work groups, FA (shown as a restaurant server), MTC etc...it would have been easier to take I'm sure. We were the only Delta employee joke at the end....not cool. Happy to see they removed it, but very surprised it made the final cut with Delta being on the forefront of PC.

If we can't allow ourselves to be poked fun at, as the "leaders" of the flt operations team, who will? I thought it wasn't that funny, but a good attempt. We all could use a dose of lighten the F up. Might as well start w cockpit leadership.

i think the video is pretty good overall. i dont find it to be lame at all. there is only so much humor that should be interjected into a safety video and what they did has a great balance.
outside of the fly button i give it a B.
i subtracted a letter grade for using one of them wide airplanes and not a Douglas.
