Cool

Ok, sensing how steep this slope is, I didn't want to join in. But, I found a grain of salt in my way and here it goes:

Girls in the cockpit? Well, for a starter, I feel most of them have a problem. They know they are judged and observed. Therefore the first attitude of a women pilot is to be defensive or even agressive. I have yet to find a women that "acts" normaly when seated in a flying machine

In my >20 years of private or professional flying, I have met quite a few male pilots that impressed me. Their decision making, situation awareness, leadership or handling were really outstanding. I have yet to meet a flying gal leaving me in awe, at least flyinwise

Oh well, it is probably ME that has a negative attitude towards the gender
