Heard the audio this morning. This pilot was having a conversation with the co-pilot and had the mic on by accident - a typical 'guys conversation' caught and broadcasted.

Here's the video (audio)

Saw that on the news at lunch. Pretty funny, as long as you're not him...

Misogynistic and homophobic. Not really funny. If that's a typical "guy conversation," it's downright sad.

Glad nobody records the conversations we have in my office. Sounds just like some of us.

I don't mean funny in that I agree with the guys comments, he's obviously an arrogant jackass - I think funny in that the guy had the hot mic and on top of it the controller even asks the guy to keep his escapades to himself.

Funny in his stupidity is probably a better way of saying it.

Thanks for the clarification.

Pretty much what I meant. Though a bunch of what he was saying was typical for a lot of guys. It's not that the content was funny, that he inadvertently broadcast it is what's funny.

Yeah I can see the humor in that part of it. I'll bet he never makes the mistake again, of not checking the mike before having a private conversation.
