look at some of the posts on this board and you'll find there are still a lot of people who STILL support the idea that a women shouldn't fly airliners...........
I was about to post that the world needs more women in positions traditionally occupied by men. Incidentally, two of the very best flight instructors I've ever had were women. It's as if women were more naturally immune to the perils of vanity when it comes to using their skills. A much appreciated trait, especially in the cockpit and sadly not passed often enough to men.
