I would like to know, though this isn't really the right forum (you see this is 'Rumours & News', and you are causing some poor moderator a troublesome few minutes moving it to the right place when you could have posted it there in the first place!), why there aren't as many female rubbish truck drivers as men- in fact I have never seen even one, or female bricklayers, dumper drivers, soldiers, road sweepers, Police, chefs, and many other jobs? Now don't get me wrong- I believe in equality, and the average female pilot is almost as good as the average male (that's just being a tad provocative), but it is unfair of the girlies to cherry pick only the best jobs for complete equality and quietly ignore the jobs they don't really want. There is no sexual discrimination allowed for selection of almost any job, so if there aren't the number of girlies applying to be pilots, it may suggest there is a deep rooted female aversion to reading maps and working big heavy machinery! (is anyone taking the bait yet?).
