Good point.

Mellisa, sorry, you`re doing fine. If we misunderstood you, we are sorry. We want you to be great - because you want to be great too right . .?

Learn all you can, in an attempt to learn ALL about the Airbus A320 in a sane amount of time. By doing this your mind will start to fill with questions - ask your training Captain what you want when you can, choose a good moment . . he will appreciate your questions, hopefully he is not a masoginist. If he does not appreciate your questions nor celebrate the fact that you are burning to learn and thirsting for knowledge then catso - cercare un altro airline, magari.

The more you study, the more you will need to ask questions.

If you are in an environment where women pilots are looked down upon then emigrate to the UK or to the States. If this is the case then give him my DC Essential Failure question: "How do you restore FULL Comms radio and intercomms) with a DC Essential Failure?" I`ll PM you the answer.

If you ARE in a place where women pilots are frowned upon then study to increase your knowledge to your `own` highest level, get a nice balance in life, some study, some free time with friends etc, and reach for Command - your Command.
Before that day arrives though acquire as much knowledge of the aircraft as you can. Enjoy your flying and ignore sexist remarks, sexism being sarcasm due to the fact that you are a lady. Never for get how you are going to perform in the event that you are the only one there. (It is NOT difficult, nor any different, just, get on with it).

We wish you all the best of luck and . . as we say in England . . "Don`t let the b------s grind you down"
