Lawmaker Asks Delta Pilot About Being A ‘Stewardess’ Immediately After Being Told She’s A Pilot

I mean, there are a lot of reasons I would never vote for a Republican, but this one happened in our state this week.

I have been to Brownsdale, MN and have worked with folks from there. Frankly, this sexist attitude does not surprise me in the least.

“My name is Laura Haynor, and I’m a Minnesota resident and a Minneapolis-based pilot for Delta Airlines,” Haynor said in her introduction.

Almost immediately afterward, Senator Dornink asks, “Can you tell me what a typical work week looks like for you as a stewardess?”

Haynor responded, “I’m a first officer for Delta?”

“I’m sorry?” Dornink asked.

“I’m a pilot.”

Bad look, but that’s about all they have these days, isn’t it?

“He could decimate social programs that I’ve been committed to and worked on for a very long time, and so there’s a whole variety, as well as his personal way of dealing with people and the world.”
