A Brazilian airline says one of its female pilots tossed a passenger off a flight because he was making sexist comments about women flying planes.
Trip Airlines says in a Tuesday statement the pilot ejected the man before takeoff as he made loud, sexist comments upon learning the pilot was a woman. The jet continued on to the state of Goias after a one-hour delay.
The passenger involved in Friday's incident has not been identified. He was met by police at the plane and escorted out of the Belo Horizonte airport. Police at the airport have not responded to calls and it isn't known if the man has been charged with anything.
Trip says it won't tolerate disparaging remarks made about any of the 1,400 women working for the airline.

Airlines will not sell early tickets in bulk to rleeelsrs. They even employ specially trained detectives whose only job is to try to catch people doing that.Personally, I don't have a problem with dynamic pricing. I like to analyze processes to see what makes them work or fail. Legally exploiting weaknesses in systems is how money is made whether people want to admit it or not, but it is not for the weak-hearted, and you might not want to brag about it.I think happiness and profit maximization goes hand-in-hand to the businessman--at least the ones that stay in business. I believe the drinker just wants another drink until he runs out of money. That's why happy hour lures them in (marketing) and stops before they leave (profit maximization).I think the idea of a 100% loss can be helpful. Too many people worry about sunk costs that they can't make a rational decision using current information. Having a drop-dead date forces a decision. The condo owner never expects a 100% loss. |
