It's simple the pilot profession is not family friendly. You want to know? I, a man had to bring my kids to the airport and plant them in front of Sky TV while I flew. They loved it. I bloody didn't.
Another day I was held overhead. I turned up at school very late to pick them up.
I'm a man. Imagine being a Mother?
All of us who have children know the difficulty. My wife is lucky because I let it go. My wife has the good job. I walked away from flying and took on the boys.
That option is not available to everyone.
So it's no surprise that women aren't fifty percent of pilots.
