Hi PJ,
I'm sure you're 100% correct re attitude and training. I've come across a few, sometimes quite old and high hours GA pilots, male, who think they are cool and do radio calls in such a deep voice that no-one can understand. When the snatch of speech suggests they're in a part of the circuit where you know they're not, it can be scary. Or they don't bother with calls at all. On the other hand, I've encountered female GA and chopper pilots who who are clear, calm, methodical, thoughtful, prepared. But of course it's a small sample, and as I said, nothing to do with commercial.
In any case, congrats to Deborah. I'm happy to see female pilots up front when I'm a passenger.
