Are you kidding me? No. Airlines will not stand for their pilots doing that. That's why she got piled on. That's why you're defending her, because you don't realize that, do you?
Where do I get the notion? because I live in reality. Yeah. I can get up right now, grab a can of spray paint and run out into the streets, dancing and singing "la la la la la!" and paint daisies all over and make the world pretty pretty pretty! There's nothing that's actually physically stopping me right now from doing so. It would certainly shock and amuse the neighbors before they come to their senses and call 911. That doesn't mean I have the power to do so. I'm not allowed to, you see. There's a difference between the ability to do something, and the power, or authority, to do so. Wild example, but my point is, no. If you don't have the authority, then no. You don't have the power, even if you technically can physically do something. Yes, he can physically refuse to fly the plane. He's the pilot. Plane doesn't go without him. Duh. But airlines aren't going to tolerate discrimination, so he doesn't have the authority to do it. So her little fact is actually wrong.
