Who said the skies were friendly?

A Southwest pilot who went on a tirade directed at the sexual orientation, age and appearance of his colleagues, has been suspended without pay and sent to diversity training in connection with the incident, the airline said Thursday.

In the two-and-a-half minute rant during a March 25 flight from Texas to San Diego, the unidentified pilot, apparently unaware his radio was on, complained his co-workers were "a continuous stream of gays and grannies and grandes" he doesn't care to socialize with in between stops. (The plane’s passengers could not hear the rant, only the control tower and other pilots could).
