Hi
I'm all for more women on my workplace!
got one on our day shift, shes not verry tall and looks likes she weighs not more then around 60kg and would say shes verry successfull, and shes even working in the special AOG team so somhow she does it and I can only be impressed by it!
you should never be discriminated at your workplace but also consider this is a proffesion with alot of guys and sort of "pick on the newbies until they learn" mentality. I'm kind of new in the buisness myself only 3 years
and when I go back to my first workplace where I did my aprrentence ship and mess something up the comment is always "damn trainee!" don't think I'l ever get away from it!
the mentality at most places are a bit weird but it grows on you and after a while you begin to love it, altough your friends might look weird at you when you laugh loud while telling the one about when you walked pass the avionics bay finding one of your colleague trap in there and decided do give him a smelly present
if you like the job GO FOR IT! its a great proffesion to be in! good luck!
