Good to see so many replies to my question...must be a topic close to men's hearts! And no Just An Other Number, this is not a wind up, I do genuinely want to fly. BEagle your reply sounds just like something my father would say...have to say I agree with the quotes part, women won't settle for "average," or at least I won't. Some good advice in favour of female pilots, thanks for your views! Watch this space...
PS. Specaircrew - may have a few problems then...
