Sexist Airline CEO Insults American Flight Attendants

THE CEO OF QATAR AIRWAYS IS FACING SOME CRITICISM AFTER HE
PUBLICLY AND VERY TRANSPARENT LEASE SPOKE OUT ABOUT THE
FLIGHT ATTENDANTS THAT HE LIKES TO EMPLOYEE AND THE OLD GRANNIES
THAT FLIGHT ATTENDANTS IN THE UNITED STATES LIKE TO EMPLOY.
LET ME GIVE YOU SOME CONTEXT BEFORE WE GO TO THE VIDEO.
THIS IS AKBAR AL BAKER AND HE MADE HIS REMARKS EARLIER THIS
MONTH DURING A SPEAKING EVENT IN IRELAND.
AT THAT EVENT HE WAS SUPPOSED TO COMMEMORATE A NEW FLIGHT
ROUTE BETWEEN IRISH CAPITAL AND DOHA.
HE KINDLY KIND OF WENT ON A LITTLE BIT OF ATTENTION
WE'RE ABOUT TO SHOW YOU DIRECTLY TO COLLECT A
BUT IT IS A 26 YEARS AT THAT THERE ARE NO REASONS TO
TRAVEL ON THESE AMERICAN CARRIERS ANYMORE.
OUR FIRST-CLASS PASSENGERS - YOU KNOW, YOU'RE ALWAYS BEING
SERVED BY GRANDMOTHERS ON THOSE AMERICAN AIRLINES A
AUDIENCE EIGHTÖ OKAY, SO THIS IS WITH THE ZOO ALL THE
TIME BACK IN THE DAY.
WHEN THE AIRLINES FIRST CAME ABOUT YOU WOULD ALWAYS HAVE
ATTRACTIVE, YOUNG WOMEN WHO WERE FLIGHT ATTENDANTS SO THEN CAME
IN ANNOYING LAWS ABOUT HAVE TO BE EQUAL AND TREAT EVERYONE
EQUALLY, AND SO SOMEONE IS GETTING OLDER, YOU CAN'T FIRE
THEM JUST FOR BEING SLIGHTLY OLDER OR NOT HIRE SOMEONE
BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT HOT ENOUGH BUT APPARENTLY, IF YOU ARE IN
QATAR NEAR LIKE THEY DON'T HAVE THE SAME LAWS.
WE DO THAT ANYWAY AND WE RUB IT IN.
WHATEVER, I DON'T AGREE WITH HIS STATEMENTS OBVIOUSLY,
AND HE IS VERY OLD-SCHOOL SO IT IS JUST FUNNY BECAUSE WHEN
I LOOK AT HIM AND I HEAR HIS STATEMENTS, I SEE AN OLD
SCHOOL, OLD WORLD KIND OF PERSON AND THEN HE HAS THE AUDACITY
TO TALK ABOUT WOMEN BEING TOO OLD TO BE FLIGHT ATTENDANTS.
WHATEVER.
THAT IS ANOTHER THING, RIGHT?
THIS WEIRD DOUBLE STANDARD WHERE A WRINKLY DUDE LIKE THAT AND BY
THE WAY, HE IS DISHING IT OUT, HE CAN STAND THERE AND TALK
ABOUT HOW WOMEN LOOK.
BECAUSE WOMEN ALWAYS NEED TO BE YOUNG AND HOT BUT DUDES,
THEY CAN LET THEMSELVES GO.
REMEMBER WHEN THE DAD BUT THING WAS A THING AND PEOPLE WERE LIKE
YEAH, DAD BOD, SUPERHOT.
HOW ABOUT GUYS HAVE TO HAVE THE SAME
STANDARDS AS US.
CATCH ME OUTSIDE, HOW ABOUT THAT?
BY THE WAY, I'M NOT ALL THAT UP IN ARMS ABOUT THIS BUT
THERE WAS AN ANGLE TO THE STORY THAT I WANTED TO BRING UP.
FOX NEWS REPORTED THIS AND THE WHOLE TONE THAT THEY TOOK
WAS REINFORCING WHAT WE ARTIE KNEW.
THIS GUY IN QATAR IS A MISOGYNISTIC PRICK.
ALL OF A SUDDEN THEY CARE ABOUT WOMEN'S RIGHTS BUT WHEN IT
COMES TO TRUMP WANTING TO GRAB WOMEN BY THE PUSSY, IT IS
JUST LOCKER ROOM TALK.
NOT A BIG DEAL.
HE MOVED ON THEM LIKE A BITCH, IT'S NOT A BIG DEAL.
HE WAS JUST TRYING TO BUY THEM FURNITURE, THAT'S ALL.
WE ARE CONSISTENT WITH CONSISTENT OUT WE'RE
AGAINST MISOGYNY AROUND THE WORLD.
BUT FOX, WHEN THEY HAVE THEIR OWN VERSION OF SHARIA LAW, THE
KIND OF LOVE IT, BUT THE MINUTE IT IS A GUY IN QATAR INSTEAD OF
A WHITE GUY, AL BAKER A RIGHT WING REPUBLICAN HERE THEY
WOULD BE LIKE WHAT'S THE BIG DEAL?
WE JUST OF THE STORY TODAY ABOUT HOW REPUBLICANS WERE GOING
TO THE OFFICE AND IN FRONT OF THE OTHER EMPLOYEE FEMALE
EMPLOYEES TALKING ABOUT THE LOBBYIST HITS WERE SO BIG,
I LOVE TO COMPARE THE SIZE OF THE LOOK BOBBY IS TED'S.
THE REPUBLICANS ALIKE THAT'S FINE, THAT'S LOCKER ROOM
TOPPLING THIS GUY.
THE REALITY IS, BOTH ARE BAD AND YOU KNOW, HE WAS TALKING TO
BUSINESS PEOPLE THERE, SO HE WAS LIKE DON'T THINK THE BUSINESS
CLASS, IF I HEARD HIM RIGHT, OF THOSE AIRLINES.
IN OTHER WORDS, PROJECTION.
IF YOU ARE A HORNY OLD MAN LIKE ME AND YOU WANT TO BE SERVED BY
ATTRACTIVE FLIGHT ATTENDANTS, I WILL GET YOU YOUNG ATTRACTIVE
FLIGHT ATTENDANTS THAT WOULD EVEN TO DO WITH THOSE GRANDMA'S?
HIT ON THEM?
YOU CAN EVEN SEXUALLY HARASSED THE FLIGHT ATTENDANT LIKE
YOU CAN ON QATAR AIRLINES TO
IN SUCH A SOFTY BECAUSE I FEEL SICK TO MY STOMACH THAT I
MENTION THIS WRINKLY FACE BECAUSE IT IS SUCH A LOW, STUPID
THING TO SAY BUT THE REASON I BRING IT UP US TO SHOW THAT
DOUBLE STANDARD, THAT INABILITY TO JUST REFLECT ON YOURSELF AND
REFLECT ON THE WAY YOU LOOK.
DO YOU HAVE THE SAME STANDARDS FOR YOURSELF THAT YOU DO
FOR WOMEN?
PROBABLY NOT.
IT IS A SOCIETAL THING.
IT IS NOT
JUST TRUE OF QATAR, IT'S TRUE OF A LOT OF DIFFERENT
COUNTRIES SO IT IS FRUSTRATING AND I DON'T KNOW.
LOOK, THE ENTITLEMENT THING IS WHAT DRIVES ME CRAZY
BECAUSE HE THINKS NO, I AM A RICH GUY FROM QATAR, I AM
ENTITLED A HOT, YOUNG WOMEN AND THEY WILL LOVE ME BECAUSE I
AM RICH AND I AM FROM QATAR.
