WestJet Passenger Leaves Sexist Note For Female Pilot

Pilot, Carey Steacy, received a critical and scathing note from one of her passengers. According to Daily Mail UK, Stacy, who has 17 years of experience as a pilot, 9 with WestJet, found the note attached to the back of one of the seats. However, it wasn’t her flying that was criticized, it was the fact she has ovaries and was not at home doting on her husband’s children.

Below are the photos of the front and back of the note, written on a napkin, Carey posted up on her Facebook page.

As you can see above, the passenger clearly states that the cockpit of a plane is no place for a woman. As a matter of fact, women in general should be taking care of children even saying that a woman being a mother is the “most honorable” achievement they can attain. He even uses Proverbs 31, which talks about the wife of noble character, to enforce his view. Finally, the post script states how he wished he knew the pilot was a woman, just so he could book another flight.

The back of the napkin shows less, but is still disrespectful. The top does say that in the end, all of this is mere vanity. Depending who reads it, this could be taken two ways. The first is the note is mere vanity for the passenger. The second, which may go with the rest of the note, is Carey being a pilot is her mere vanity. Finally, the passenger writes “not impressed” above WestJet, followed by a signature.

The passenger probably is used to how the flying used to be back in the 70s and 80s. Pilots were all male, all flight attendants were beautiful females, and they were called stewardesses (which is the feminine term of a person who caters to the domestic concerns of others). Now, the term stewardess, or even steward, doesn’t exist since it is politically incorrect and, just like Steacy, females can be pilots.

WestJet, who recently added child-free cabins as previous reported by The Inquisitr, has confirmed they were told of the incident and that they have many female pilots and first officers in their fleet. They even made a statement, in an email to Yahoo Canada, following up on the situation:

We’re enormously proud of the professionalism, skills, experience and expertise of our pilots, and we were very disappointed to find this note.

In the end, Steacy hopes good will come out of the experience. She is even utilizing the situation to encourage more females to become pilots.
