I have to say the pilot I regard as the best overall is a woman. I was fortunate enough to employ her yrs back, carry out a few endorsements, CIR renewals, be endorsed on aircraft by her, supervise her as an instructor and she flew with me as an F/O.
She is now a captain on bigger newer and faster aircraft than I and I bet she is doing it exceptionally well.
On the other hand I have the misfortune of flying with some of the worst, I would never employ them, doubt whether they would prove themselves competent to achieve an endorsement or pass a CIR, and as for instructing, I feel for the pilots who are trained by them. They are the ones who p[;ossibly have a few stamps in the "furry logbook".
No different to men just have to sort out the good from the bad in the interview process.
