Lets be honest guys.
We do need more female pilots, and more encouragement (tax / vat relief, government funding ...) for both sexes to get into this career.
In many cases woman are smarter and more mature than us, perfect for this job. Someone mentioned that only 1 % of all pilots are female, that amazes me.
Just because female pilots can't wear skirts doesn't make the job these femenin, does it ?. Being a pilot today is a very proffesional and technical job, ideal for woman to aspire to.
Out of all the frozen atpl FI's I have seen at our local (solent @ EGHI) over the past four years. The most proffesional and dedicated out of about 10 was a woman. Often twice as good as her males colleages (especially spurge). She went on to 733's with Go a few years back after a stunning sim ride and is doing very well last I heard. well done Kate
