With reference to the pilot with the scantily clad men on her clipboard and the circuit breakers too sensitive to wear a shoulder harness -- she certainly isn't a 'lady' pilot.. .. .I'm so sorry you went through this experience. I have been flying now for 18 years, more on than off, and started at a time when there were hardly any lady pilots;I have the honour to have been the first one in the U.A.E.,for instance. Now I'm in Botswana, due to move to contract work soon.. .. .Honestly and truly, in ALL that time, I have not had one experience where I have felt prejudiced against or harrased in any way -- quite the contrary, and the feeling of camaraderie is the most precious part of my career. All this is a bit soppy I suppose but I want you to know that people like me are grateful to alot of 'old school' guys who let us in with a smile.. .. .What did they used to call it before it was the 'box office' ? !
