She stops and says to the F/O (who is white) "You must be so proud of how well this tar baby speaks....if I didn't know any better I would have thought she was white."
Needless to say the F/O's face turned bright red and he said "Huh? I don't get it?" She quickly replied. "It's just that most N****s sound so ignorant. " She then turns to me and says, "Did they teach you how to speak like that during company training dear?"
I could not help but laugh and say "No, Emory University"
By this time the F/O realized that he had to get in on it and asked her "How do you spell ignorant again?"
This woman actually wrote a letter to the company saying that we were rude to her in hopes that we would lose our jobs. All my supervisor could do was laugh. My F/O apologized to me so many times ( I still trying to figure that one out...he didn't do anything wrong) that I finally had to tell him to shut up an get over it. |
Unbelievable Neen!! That's when you wish a passenger like that is sitting underneath the overhead bin where your fully loaded 22-inch Travel Pro is stored.... while you're pulling it out, you get a little pain in your elbow and then....oops, right on top of the hate-filled head it falls.
