You hit the nail on the head!

There is nothing wrong with female pilots, I have flown with three in particular that were not only much better looking than my average F/O but better company and all had a very good pair of hands!

BUT. . . .

The question keeps returning to old values and bringing up the children. My son is 13 going on 28 but he still loves having his mom around and whilst she works part time she also loves to be around him and the family in general.

We are not at war and we don't actually NEED these lady pilots. I am quite sure we could fill every seat both left and right with quality men which would leave our ladies time to take care of the family, teach the young ones the rules and make a home environment.

Maybe I am out of touch but hey it worked ok for hundreds of years so why mend something that is not broken?
