Wanted: First Officer must be religious...

[lindsaya99]

What about all those bumper stickers that say "God is my co-pilot." I guess they were full of it.

I think someone should print up stickers that say "Chuck Norris is my co-pilot."

(You can make your own stickers, cups, etc., at CafePress! I made that one in just a couple minutes with a graphics program.)

A pilot needs to have faith in his/her abilities. That's what gets the rubber back on the ground. Religion doesn't enter into the mix.

The religious service attendance requirement is blatantly illegal.

C

I wonder if it is. If it is not illegal for a corporation to require a pilot to attend company functions when on the road, why would it be illegal to attend a church service (a company function) when on the road?

They just require that you be in the room. It doesn't mean you have to participate in the services.

It's to make sure your not stealing the silverware!

I'm no lawyer but I'm sure that one could have a field day. What if the ad said must attend Mosque service and Quran class?

How about this: If the job requirements offend you.....DON'T APPLY!

It didn't say you have to be a Christian, it said you have to attend the services.

That makes the most sense. People don't like feeling like they're forced to meet a requirement, but have no problem pushing their agenda on others. If you don't want to hang out with a certain group, don't go where they are, problem solved.

Speaking of the Televangelist Air Force...

Did any of you DFW guys see this report last week on WFAA (ch. 8) about Kenneth Copeland and his Citation that was bought CASH by his supporters and how he's been using it for his personal vacations after swearing to Jesus Himself that it wouldn't be used for anything except "Spreading the Word"? Apparently, spreading the word includes hunting trips and vacations in Hawai'i.

It's one thing to have your faith, whatever that may be. It's a whole 'nother thing to bilk the uneducated into buying your private jet and your personal airport (4T2) in the name of any deity...

always made me think

"I am god's captain."

Had a pax the other day getting snotty because we were going to make him late for church. I instructed the F/A to inform him that god was flying the plane and I said it's o.k.

If God is your copilot, do you get to log it as Dual given?

Some Musslim will become offended with the requirements. File suit and the church will be shut down.
