Mixed Flight Crew (m/f) a Human Factors Issue in any airline ?

Not really fiting in in the tec section , I know – but the right place to reach fellow professionals, I think.


According to my experience as an airline captain it indeed matters if the other crewmember is male or female. IŽam wondering if IŽam the only one feeling that way and if adressing this issue is overdue and sometimes avoided due to an PC-driven attitude. To make my point clear : IŽam not against women in multicrew cockpits, however we are discussing all kinds of human factors related issues. My impression is that this one is not adressed in a proper manner – and we need to sharpen our awareness also in that respect.


Any thoughts on this one ? Thanks, RvB.
