Ann Coulter Refuses to
Board Airplane With Black Pilot
Jan.
29, 2013
Conservative
commentator and author Ann Coulter refused to stay on board a Miami to
New York commercial airline flight today after learning the pilot was a woman
of African-American descent.
According to
witness reports Coulter was concerned the experienced, decorated pilot in
question may have gained her position as a result of affirmative action and
wasn't fully qualified to fly.
The incident
began when Coulter boarded the American Airlines flight and took up her first
class seat. After a trip to the bathroom, she noticed the pilot was a black
woman and became immediately distraught.
According to
passengers, at that point Coulter stood at the front of the cabin and began
screaming her concerns to the entire flight as they finished boarding.
"Aw come
on people, a black woman flying a plane? You know she got that job through
affirmative action. Am I the only one worried about this? I mean hello? Our
lives are at stake here..."
Ann Of
Mean Labels
The confused
passengers weren't sure what to make of Coulter's outburst, and
remained completely silent.
"Really?
So we're just gonna let this happen? We're gonna let political correctness
determine our safety? Is this what we've come to in Obama's America? Letting
just anyone fly a plane out of fear of being called a racist?"
"Oh come
on don't be coy. I know you're all thinking it! I just have the courage to say
what everyone on this plane is thinking. Am I right?"
"I mean
what's next? Are we gonna let Mexicans become doctors now? Jesus
Christ people!"
Realizing her
efforts to provoke a mutiny had come to naught, Coulter then took her carry-on
bags and bolted back up the jetway towards the gate against the orders of the
flight attendants.
Final
Descent Into Madness
In reality
the pilot of the plane was trained by the U.S. Air Force and was a
decorated veteran of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, where she
flew aerial refueling missions for transport and reconnaissance aircraft.
She has been flying for American Airlines for four years, and is one of that
airlines most experienced 737 pilots.
After the
incident Coulter was taken in for questioning because violating the
instructions of flight attendants is a federal offence. Law
enforcement officials, however, say no charges will be filed.
"Clearly
this woman has some sort of mental illness," explains TSA spokesperson
Dirk Diggler, "We recommended against pressing charges, and
mandated a full psychiatric evaluation."
Coulter,
however, is unapologetic about her actions. In a statement released on her
official Tumblr she defended her decision to stay off the plane.
"I made
the best decision I could with the information I had at the time. I'm not gonna
risk my life for the sake of some liberal fantasy of equality. "
Coulter is
known for her controversial views on race, and is the author of the recent
book Mugged: Racial Demagoguery from the Seventies to Obama.
