Interesting debate

And an issue I've wondered about sometimes and was there discrimination in recruiting pilots for airlines. I voiced this once to someone once who'd flown a bit, he believed that women in general find it harder to make the grade rather than they were being discriminated against. This is not intended as a sexist comment just a quote on quote suggestion to the practicalities of why there is such a gender imbalance existing in this profession. Perhaps its all the technical and mathematical stuff one needs to be good at, maybe like women in general excel in some areas men in general excel at the areas needed to be a competent airline pilot.
