Continental Airline Tickets

If you were on an airline flight and the pilot died ?

who would you want to take over flying the plane...the experienced co-pilot who has been trained for the job, or the flight attendant? Now before you start yelling sexist, it is possible for a co-pilot to be female and a flight attendant to be male... Seems some of you are not getting it. These are metaphors for the VP candidates...the comparison is based on ability, not gender.

1. I'd want Ted Stryker. But the flight attendant is a different job than the pilot. So it's apples and oranges.
2. Nice comparison. I agree.
3. The copilot is still a pilot all the same. The flight attendant needs to bring me a beer and stay out of the cockpit.
4. I'll take the person who is an experienced pilot of a smaller plane over someone who's entire experience is from watching movies about it.
5. why would it matter what sex they are? the co-pilot can fly a plane. the flight attendant serves drinks and peanuts. of course peanut person is in charge! everyone wants to crash!!!
6. This is not a matter of being sexist or not. This is a matter of do you want to live or die. I would trust my life to an experienced co-pilot regardless of sex before I would trust it to an inexperienced flight attendant regardless of sex.
7. This seems to be a set up based on the present election. I would not want the pilot. McCain crashed 5 planes in training and was not washed out because his father and grandfather were both admirals. They pulled strings to keep him in and pass out of training. Then he made several errors in judgment in vietnam, the last being shot down. If we are on a modern jet with all the modern electronics and such then even my cat could fly the thing. I would not want the co-pilot with experience in little puddle jumpers to even be in the cockpit. I have a multi-engine, instrument rating and I would rather fly myself. This and the TSA are reasons why I do not fly commercial. GOBAMA
8. The co-pilot, unless the flight attendant was John McCain or if the co-pilot was John Biden.
