Skychaser just out of curiosity I just had a look at the CD.

Did you ever consider that "Chantelle" might actually be a real pilot herself who just participated in the CD? That has been known to happen, in which case you might give some thought to your rather personal comments about her in your posting.

Regarding your statment re "endemic" gender bias, I seem to recall that the year befor last(?) there was a video clip shown at the CASA annual conference regarding the use of electronic planning programs. In that CD the older male pilot adhered to the good old paper and fax method of flight planning, where the younger woman pilot used her laptop to plan and submit via the internet, which was promoted as a smarter and faster way of flight planning.

I also haven't heard any other women pilots make a complaint about the CD. If you are still concerned, you might consider actually giving Andrew Warland-Brown at CASA Aviation Safety Promotion an email or call to express your concerns, his details are on the CD case.

But I have to say, as another fem flyer, I'm with Foyl on this one.
