Well said Melissab!
Exactly what I was trying to say in my post but being a bloke didn't feel it was right for me to point out really.
Most girls I know fall asleep if flying gets mentioned and most blokes want to know the in's and out's. That's just the way things are for good or for bad.
Just because something interests you does not mean you should expect it to interest everyone. We all know this but what needs to be in place is some sort of structure within schools and colleges that actively encourages/promotes women to pursue whatever career does interest them whatever it may be. Does this currently exist? Been a while since I was in school.
