Each country has a heritage, we should respect that and not force our views upon them. So Singapore has no female pilots, so that is that country way. Maybe some day that will change and that will be for the better, but that is a choice for the women there.
I have flown with female Captains, F/O's and F/E's. They are no different than men, of course one has to be a little more tactfull but so be it. They are as qualified or as un qualified as the rest of us. The only problem I have is when, a few, start demanding excessive rights because of their gender. I find it appaling, in the US, that women with a quarter of the experience of men are given preferrential hiring by the airlines. Meeting a certain quota is not my idea of fair play nor safety oriented. My beliefs :equal qualifications = equal opportunity. It really gets me going, when, the few, start demanding rights based on gender.
