Perhaps you should direct a few questions to ex Dan Air crews. Ask about Captain Yvonne Pope, 1st Female UK Airline Captain in 1975, also 1st Jet Capt. Yvonne also was the 1st UK Female ATCO in 1960.

All the folks that I knew who flew with Yvonne, had no problems it seems.

I seem to remember that People Express (may be Braniff) had the 1st B747 Female Capt to chug across the OGIN EWR/LGW, correct me if I'm wrong SVP.
The name Rippelmeir (prob incorrect spelling) comes to mind.

Does this not reflect this really stupid PC attitude which has crept in to all aspects of todays life? Surely good CRM applies in the air, as it does on the ground, irrespective of gender?
