Never had that in aviation (plenty of times in the real world); perhaps I'm incredibly thick-skinned and didn't notice or maybe not pretty enough.

Had a couple of lesbians make passes at me so it's not just men you know! Met a couple of very unpleasant and possessive wives who assumed that I must be after their husbands!!!

I disagree that some of the comments made would put off ANY female student; just some.

I am a member of BWPA and Whirly's right about minorities seeking their own sort. For female fixed wing pilots, I suggest it's a good organisation to join. However, I feel that my "minority" is as a helicopter pilot, not as woman, so personally it hasn't offered much for me.

Cheers
