Another question, female pilots
this is question is more specific towards female pilots. I am dead set upon going for a career into aviation, i already have my ppl and 200hrs of flight time I am applying for a sponsership with cathay pacific and i have a back up arrange if that does not go through.
basically my question is this, how do you find being a female pilot in the professional industry? is it is still a "boys club" . Or are attitudes changing? from what i see attitudes are changing towards female pilots and it is becoming more accepted, but we are still out numbered by far, i was the 1 of 3 female out of 45 students at a flight school in florida.
Have you thought about how it will work out when you get pregnant and how that will affect your career and raising children? If you have already been in this position how did you manage to cope? these questions were raised to me by girl friends who are not in the aviation industry and it was something i had never thought about until now.
I just thought this would be a good place to ask this question as i have never met many female pilots who are in airline jobs, most of the female pilots i know are in the beginning stages of achieving an airline job, it would be good to hear the opinion of a female pilots who has seniority and already has a job with an airline.
