According to an article several years ago in FAPA , both Paula DuBois (from MVA) and Paula Conklin (from Tailhook "fame") filed various suits against United. At least one of them busted a DC-10 FE checkride at least twice.
Can you imagine how much money their attorneys could earn? Some countries might call that blackmail or extortion.
Just to set the record straight, I have no complaints at all against the lady FOs or Captain who I have flown with (in our twin turbine machines). They fly like the guys, but certainly look and smell better-nothing personal, dudes. And at my company, their qualifications and hours are the same as for the guys-no critiques here at all.
