- A bad experience in Florida with an extremely patronising & chauvanist instructor on the bfr.
- If I'm with Mr B and walk into a pilot shop/flying club/whatever, the attention will always be directed at Mr B, even though he doesn't fly himself.
- I often get bad vibes from the 'posers' who I assume see me as some kind of a threat (A bit weird cos I'm very shy and retiring!)
And as a side point, I work in aviation, on a very male-biased side of the business. I'd estimate that one in every twenty chaps that telephone assume I'm the secretary and will blatantly show their unwillingness to 'talk aeroplanes' with a woman. Quite amusing really.
