Wanted: First Officer must be religious...

[ackattacker]

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!

Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964:

SEC. 2000e-2. [Section 703]

(a) It shall be an unlawful employment practice for an employer -

(1) to fail or refuse to hire or to discharge any individual, or
otherwise to discriminate against any individual with respect to his
compensation, terms, conditions, or privileges of employment, because of
such individual's race, color, religion, sex, or national origin

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...

What about all those bumper stickers that say "God is my co-pilot."

always made me think

"I am god's captain."

 

[crashpad]

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?

 

[DX Rick]

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

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

It said you have to attend services, it didn't say you couldn't read Maxim during services.

Yep, one of the hundreds of reasons I am against organized religion.

Not surprising though. Seems like the biggest bible thumpers are also the biggest hipocrites.

 

[sitbackrelax]

I wonder how all our Christian friends would feel if the ad instead stated that daily prayers at the mosque were a prerequisite for employment? I'm sure "terrist' " would be mentioned at least twice on the first page of replies. I'm also sure that Brit Hume would be leading the story of job applicants beinig required to "hate america."

 

[Goose Egg]

Reminds me of my first flight instructing job, training missionary pilots. I got really tired of hearing stuff like "I guess Jesus just didn't want me to make good landings today....."

I'm a pretty religious guy, but yeah, that would get old quick.

Cabin PA: "Sorry about that folks, but it seems the Good Lord has got it in for me today."

I wouldn't want to be the other pilot with that person then..

Hmmmm. Your against "organized religion."

Kenneth Copeland = organized religion?

If Copeland is "organized religion," what is Pope Benedict XVI?

Let me guess...there all the same to you?

 

[nyboilermaker]

Yup. No difference.

 

[jpeace02]

if god is your co-pilot switch seats.

For some reason this employment add just made me chuckle:

http://www.findapilot.com/index.php?a=2&b=1414

"Christian Ministry seeking full-time co-pilot candidate. A&P preferred to perform light maintenance on aircraft. Relocation to Michigan required. RON AVERAGE 3 days per week. Church service attendance required when traveling. Stable employment. Family oriented enviornment."

I'm a christian and I wouldn't take the job if it forced me to attend their services. Just because it's a christian service doesn't mean it's right. To find God and to find out how to go to heaven I went to the Bible. When it came time to find a church I went to the Bible. I looked long and hard to find churches that closely follow biblical principles and I'm not going to compromise that for a job.

As far as religions organized by men, none are in the Bible. In fact the only organized religion in the Bible is Judaism. It was instituted by God, and ended at the cross.

As far as televangelists, I'd say almost all are christians in name only and not truely changed. They're all crooks. The true heart of a godly man would feel ashamed for living extravagantly while those supporting him were having tough times. In the Bible not one preacher or apostle solicited financial support. The support they received was given by churches or individuals of their own free will. The only time a church was asked to take a collection was by a third party for the poor christians in another town.

God wants me to have nothing but good landings, good flights, passed checkrides, and good days. And when I don't it's my fault.
