I've been involved in flying big airplanes for 19+ years, all in the non-sched sector; and all intl flying. I've heard a marked increase in female voices over the radio from all countries, some i was really astounded would let a female fly, but very glad they have broken the barrier. Of the ladies that i have worked with about 20 percent were not worth a hill of beans, (about the same as men)but the rest were very capable pilots. Having an attitude about women in the cockpit, is akin to racism. You better give the folks the benefit of doubt before you judge them. They just might teach you something if you open your mind a little.
