Not to make waves (just yet), but just in case. At the very least, this sort of “order” regarding your personal life was highly inappropriate. ---

BUT, don’t quit until you’ve got a better job guaranteed. BTW, I don’t mean to actually fuck, although… 😃 \*\* See now, I’m not even the infuriated OP, but this makes me a bit cranky. You did NOT “listen” to her. The OP isn’t mad because he “asked” her to “take a vacation”. Also “(His) plane”? Where’d you get that idea. Read the OP thoroughly. I understand the OP’s pride in being young woman and a pilot, but if you read the OP, the point is REALLY that the boss in question is really walking a fine line and skirting sexual harrassment with the words he DID say to her. ---

Well, Lieu and Wring, if you’re gonna be like that, I’m gonna have to TAKE OFF! I’m callin’ myself a TAXI. And when I land, it won’t be in a mean message board like this! ---

You’re going to call yourself a Taxi? how will changing your handle help?? 😕 that will only land you in more trouble, I fear. Just pile- it right over here and stay still - it’s better to be in a holding pattern than to simply crash your way into another message board. ---

**JackBatty** , not that it’s anything to you, but I thought it was funny. Your timing was a bit off, but it was still funny. **broomstick** - Can you honestly say that your boss is forbidding you to fly? You know that no one can forbid you to do anything, really. When I tell my kids as they leave on a Friday night “Be Careful, and no doing drugs or having sex”, do you think they start complaining to their friends that they now cannot do drugs and have sex because I forbid them to do it? No, they roll their eyes, say “sure, Mom” and proceed to do whatever the hell they want to do. Your boss may be afraid of flying, he seems to feel that he has to look out for you. Why? Beats me. But he was simply expressing his concern for your safety. I find no reason to get so upset. Take it as a compliment that your employer seems to genuinely care about your safety, so much so that he transfers his fears to your situation. I do not think he meant anything other than “Please be very careful, I wish you would not fly because I am scared of flying, it makes me nervous and I would not want anything to happen to you or any of my employees”. ---
