Hengis , yep we've got female crewmen ( well crewperson PC and all that) and there have been some good some bad. The good both saw the light and went C130. On the SH side ones trying to get her commission back, one didn't like the OCU and quit , three were useless ( 1 now out and a reservist, one fixed wing the 3rd declared herself a lesbo! and out ) There's one going through the wokka OCU and she's doing fine till she gets to the SQN and can't carry 5m strops or 100 lb bergans.
As for the front end , we've got some very good and some avg pilots and instructors. Personally if the girls can do the job without any special treatment or favours then fine get on and do it, without a fuss or double page spreads in RAF news!

Q. Does anyone else experience positive discrimination towards females on their SQN?
At the moment it seams if you've got tits then you get on . ( this is a personal observation that I know is shared amongst others including the girls)

Any Typo's are due to a completer lack of sleep and a large hangover.
