Training Risky,

I am 100% with you on this.
The real facts are that MANY of the women (aviators) are there because their face fitted, and thats a fact!! Even some of the girls themselves have told me that some of their female colleagues were accepted and graduated/passed simply because the instructors were under strict instructions NOT TO FAIL them.

In the main, 'most' of the women aviators have got to the position they are at simply because of their gender, and certainly NOT because of their ability.

Believe me, I have had first hand experience of this over the past few years:
'I can't fly, my feet hurt' 'My flying suit is too tight' 'Sorry but I'm not in the right frame of mind today' blah - utter rubbish.

I'm sorry girls, I'm sure some of you are good at your job, and some of us 'old boys' are more than happy to fly with you. The problem is that the vast majority of your female colleagues simply arn't up to the job, and should have kept their feet firmly on the ground.

Very sorry girls.

Best wishes to all the good 'ens tho'
