Recently, an unfortunate exchange between Minnesota Republican Sen. Gene Dornink and Delta pilot Laura Haynor went viral.
“ I ’m a Minneapolis based pilot for Delta airlines . ”“Tell me what a typical workweek is like for you as a stewardess.”pic.twitter.com/ty7fWeNTYH
During an amendment hearing on the state’s sick and safe time law, Haynor introduced herself as a “Minnesota resident and a Minneapolis-based pilot for Delta Airlines.”
Four secondsafter Haynor shared her professional title, Dornink asked, “Can you tell me what a typical week, uh, workweek looks like for you as a stewardess?”
Several murmurs can immediately be heard from the crowd as Dornink is reminded by onlookers that Haynor is a pilot. He laughs, seemingly not understanding that he’s been corrected, before Haynor says, “I’m a first officer for Delta.” At which point the senator throws his hands up and apologizes, claiming, “I don’t know why I said that.”
The expression on Haynor’s face says enough:
