Sorry, Wingswinger, but I havenīt seen airmanship for a long time! The slightest deviation from "BATO" (But All The Others..) procedures - even inside the SOPs require long and tireing discussions with the gentlemen who wants to sit in my seat. 15 minutes of discussion to persuade a guy that an a/c on takeoff is legal for example. Eng out SID into a Cb. The list is endless!
And before the pc brigade steps in: there was never ever this kind of problems with a female F/O.
