No lack of interest… it’s retention

Simply…. It’s not user friendly… it is an industry built solely on a full time dream. Sure.. the financial aspect affects both sexes, but at the end of the day, the girls have got the goods, and as yet, science is yet to figure out a way that we can palm off the baby baking to boyz..😜Women do want to fly, but the industry with all of its expirations on ratings, endorsements, and knowledge, means that it becomes a case of one or the other…circum to the pesky tick tock, or dream big…the careers councilor never stands up and says… now ladies… one day you may have to sit down and decide whether you want a kid, or you want 4 gold bars…Out of all of the women that hold a licence… I’d be very interested to see stats as to why they didn’t pursue a career as a commercial pilot. Oh.. P.S…
im sure this is a dilemma that faces women in many professions where being at the top of your field takes many years dedicated entirely to your craft..
