Photo / Sue Ogrocki, APFederal authorities have charged a former Southwest Airlines pilot with indecent exposure for an incident they say occurred during a flight last August. A Southwest spokeswoman said no passengers witnessed the incident; the pilots were the only people aboard aware of the incident. "The Pilot in question is no longer Employed by Southwest Airlines and departed the Company last year prior to us becoming aware of the matter. Southwest Airlines takes all matters related to workplace conduct very seriously, with a well-defined policy and reporting process for harassment, sexual harassment, discrimination, and retaliation claims," said a spokesperson for the airline. In a separate incident another Southwest Airlines pilot is under investigation after accidentally broadcasting an expletive-filled rant to air traffic control.
