When I saw the Thread Title, I was kinda hoping it would be about the positive contribution women make to aviation.

I got into trouble in a recent thread by bringing up WW2, but if it weren't for all of those young women ferry pilots, delivering everything from Spitfires, Lancasters, B17, etc, often solo from the factory or overseas, things would've taken a whole lot longer as the men were being consumed at a prodigious rate.
And that's just one example.

But I digress,
What Big Jan say's,
Funny thing about a woman willing to further her career using the furry logbook.It takes an employer who is (Let us say) willing to inspect this type of log book for a woman to gain any advantage.
IMHO just about sums it up.

If you are breaking your neck to work for suchlike or feel dissappointed because you couldn't get the "advantage" yourself in that manner, may I suggest that you are either in the wrong profession or looking for work in the wrong places.

Ask your mum, wife or girlfriend what she would think about such an employer??
Even more important still, how your work colleagues would feel about it.
I have never ever seen a situation like that, which was not ultimately destructive to the people involved.
