Whirlygig - I don't like people making passes at me. It IS because of my gender, obviously. It was very rare, but I didn't like it. As an inexperienced pilot I found it very difficult to handle when all my mind was on flying.

It's the arrogance that a (very) few men have, that female pilots are there for their benefit which is so irritating.

Some of the comments on this forum would put off any prospective female student! When you are learning to fly, you can barely cope with this sort of thing.
