BANNED from this thread - comments by men that they think women make good pilots, bad pilots, better/worse pilots
than men, or whatever; we've heard it all before and it's irrelevant. I'm just curious to know what other women have
run into. And I was bored today anyway, and just fancied starting a new thread.
Ummm. Okay, I was going to say that I trust female pilots more, but instead I'll skip it and point out that female engineers
seem to labour under the same burden - I've been in a situation before where a guy was asking a question about programming,
and then proceeded to ignore the correct answer that the girl beside me gave (twice!) and then accepted it without question
when I repeated it.
And as for Prof. Jane Grimson (first female engineering graduate from TCD back in the 70s), if I had an euro for every letter
addressed to her that started with "Dear Sir", well, I'd have my own plane by now...

Humans. Sheesh.
