so you must have never asked ATC for a shortcut? or how about when your captain says, "hey why dont you ask center if we could ____." I guess in your case you tell him, "no can do. why should WE be entitled to go direct to this fix when the skies are congested with everyone else waiting to go places."
i should try this tomorrow to see the expression on my captain's face!

Just read this on the internet about 20 mins ago:
Lufhansa Pilot to co-pilot, forgetting that the frequency was open: "We used to come up the Thames, and turn over here for the docks...."
Voice on frequency: "ACHTUNG SPITFEUR"

A Piper Warrior decided to try to beat out two King Airs that had already picked up their IFR clearances by departing VFR on a marginal Day.
Warror xxx: Good morning Center, departed VFR would like to pick up our clearance.
Center: Uh, I have two King Airs that I need to get out first. Maintain VFR and I'll get back to you.
Warrior xxx: Uhhh ok. Well I'm in the clouds now. Should I descend?
Center: Affirmative, and I have a phone number when you are ready to copy.

uhmm ok.. so the thousands of us who ask for or accept various shortcuts given to us by ATC on a daily basis every day of our flying careers are very unprofessional.. and the professional way to reply to such an unprofessional request would be make a snide comment about the total stranger's career instead of simply saying no.
so you must have never asked ATC for a shortcut? or how about when your captain says, "hey why dont you ask center if we could ____." I guess in your case you tell him, "no can do. why should WE be entitled to go direct to this fix when the skies are congested with everyone else waiting to go places."

Sigh...
I guess you are right. I can only imagine how people would have responded if this were a racial joke. I worked for the NAI and know that a joke against a black pilot would be unacceptable. Why is it alright for jokes to be made against females?
Alas, this is what I am use to. I have struggled with this type of mentality throughout my training. I can only hope that you will mature and gain some insight and understanding. You wonder why there is affirmative action in place. Well you have just shown us why. I would hate to be an aspiring female pilot reading these forums. I personally would be discouraged. I don’t mean this to be an attack against you. Think about your actions and words is all.
Can't blame me if I don't think your comments are funny. I have struggled with this type of mentality throughout my flying career. Can't imagine the scrutiny you would have received if this were a racist comment. Too bad we are still in an era to be willing to accept such sexist comments.
