Love ya work Fantome!
One day we will have to swap Heron stories, but in the interest of staying on thread, not here.
As for chicks flying, some of the macho males here would not like to know that in my day job I see a very high standard set by the 'girlies' (if Clare will allow me to use her descriptor).
The young ones in particular study hard, learn quickly and fly nicely.
The worst that I see are high time blokes (typically 10,000 hour plus) who have had too many years in GA, missed out on airlines, and are now trying to cash in on current opportunities by moving to advanced equipment. Too often it is beyond their capabilities, or they expect it to be a walk in the park. Not all have problems, of course, but enough to tell me that standards in GA must be pretty ordinary for these characters to have consistently passed their IPCs.
