pruners live large!

The sweeping generalizations about female pilots is awful. I have flown with dozens of US Army pilots, female pilots, who are first class aviators, motivated, hard working and good sticks.
The Chief Helo pilot for one US corporation is a female, and a crackerjack pilot.

If you sweep all women into one pile with generalizations about hard work, or tough conditions or the like, you are just plain wrong. I am sure there are mediocre female pilots out there but in my opinion, as pilots, women have to be somewhat better to be equal.

Maybe these thoughts will alienate some ppruners, but now when I go to the bar, my table mates will look better!
