The typical female pilot tires quickly of the unsociable, long hours, she tires of the ongoing training requirements and quickly falls by the wayside - Any long and meaningful sortie debrief usually ends, literally, in tears - This leads normally to a protracted period of ill health (Stress, 'women’s problems', etc) which in itself leads to currency problems - From here it is a slippery slope, these individuals can easily absorb all of the time available to the unit trainers to the complete detriment of everyone else’s training. This saga normally ends with some sort of ground job or pregnancy.
Slartibardfast,
You obviously dont work in the Police as those sort of comments would have earned you the sack...and probably a court case as well-assuming you shouted them in public of course...
Sadly..you are probably 95% correct... I reserve the remaining 5% for those who do get stuck in, and dont look for an early settlement in the courts
