Comment from a passenger's point of view: Best landing experienced so far was at MAN. BA flight from FRA 8/1/01, the pilot was (I think I have the name right, sorry if I haven't but you know who you are) Cathy MacDonald who was also the captain. A grotty, wet, windy day and a wonderfully smooth landing.Long may she continue to fly. Worst, a flying kangaroo at SIN, I won't say when. A lovely dry day, no wind worth mentioning (I was looking out of the window and none of the vegetation was so much as waving gently in the breeze) and HE fairly planted it on the runway followed, it seemed, by a tour of every single pot hole in the runway and the creation of a few new ones. Even the cabin crew were a little startled. Guess who I would rather fly with?
It certainly isn't him. Keep up the good work girls and boys. I'm happy with pilots of either gender just as long as they get me safely to my destination. I wonder if the lads are feeling a little nervous in case, once the proportions of M:F pilots evens out, they find that, just as in driving, the girls are actually better than the boys?
