MP.. .. .Your story is tragic but certainly not unique in a world where "feminism" has run amuck. Though 99% of female pilots are highly competent there are the token few who are incopetent and eat up an enormous amount of training time and patience. Because of the lawyer commanded society we live in they are next to impossible to get rid of due of the inevitable discrimination lawsuit that follows. We all know the stories. I know dozens of them. The one that emediately comes to mind happened during initial training. A fellow in my class needed a few extra sim. sessions in order to be signed off for his FE checkride. He had failed his oral and was already nervous when he was paraded up to the chief pilot where, according to him, he was told in no uncertain terms that if he didn't get his ***t together he would be ou of there. Meanwhile a woman in the class just ahead of us was working on her 7th. extra sim. with no such threat. Had this happened to anyone else they would have been let go.. .Sexual harrasment has no business in any field, least of all aviation, but when management becomes more afraid of lawyers than of having incompetent pilots in their cockpits something is very wrong.. .The issues involved are compicated and not easily solved but the current system of affirmative action is flawed and needs to be abolished.
