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 statement the pilot ejected the man before take-off 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, although it was not known if the man was charged.

Trip says it won't tolerate disparaging remarks made about any of the 1400 women working for the airline

Good for her. You don't like it, get the fuck out.

I wonder if he got the price of his plane ticket back

[WOT?*]

So, maybe he could fly the plane any better? Yeah, right. Jackass deserves to be ejected and I hope he *didn't* get the price of his ticket back.

I'm glad the airline supported her.

Good for her. It is her workplace and she doesn't need harassment while working.

Good for her. He should be happy he wasn't forced to travel with a (gasp!) WOMAN flying his plane!

good for her. :Y: :Y: :Y: :Y:

What could he have been trying to accomplish by making such remarks? Was he hoping a male pilot was sitting there ready to step forward to fly the plane?

I am waiting for all the upset and pity that Brazil doesn't have freedom of speech....crickets...tumbleweeds....lol

In Rio they have women only cars on the subway because of all the issues they had with men groping women during rush hour.

I wish I could eject sexist assholes from my workplace.

She's the PILOT, what did this jerk think would happen?

IDK, I think he's a douche but I also think it childish of her to toss him off. Who the fuck cares what he says? Unless he was making threats, let the doucher be.
