You’re right but as in all walks of life some people are better suited to some jobs than others, I wish more females would take up the profession, a larger gene pool of female pilots means that some airlines wouldn’t feel the need to positively discriminate in favour of women, because ultimately that’s inst good for the airline or indeed females.

I dont give a toss about your colour, race, sex or sexually inclination so long as you can reach the required standard, if that means all white males or all black females so be it, there are plenty of very capable female pilots out there, unfortunately they are let down by a very small minority of females who feel that their sex gives them the right to be off sick more often or seek softer less gruelling roster patterns due child care issues, who of course may in turn be let down by their male co parents.
