distaff beancounter,

A lot of regular posters on PPRuNe don't hold PPLs. And some of us post a lot - if you ignore my posts, and Aerbabe's....

But seriously, I'm not surprised. How many women do you see in flying clubs, or hear on the radio? I only met about three in my first year of flying.

As for commercial pilots, only 2% are women. Which explains why I was the only one on both my CPL ground school courses, almost the only one doing the exams.

Jeez...I almost begin to understand why people always assume my male passenger is the pilot.
