There was an old story from many moons back regarding a pilot interview for British Airways. The interviewer in Personnel (see, pre HR days!) asked the candidate...
'You've landed away and the crew are overnighting, you decide to meet at the bar before dinner and your Captain walks in wearing a dress...what are your thoughts'
'Well' starts the candidate 'I suppose not so strange nowadays, I would be supportive and encouraging and making sure the issue is not a problem for the crew but if he tries any funny stuff on me...it won't work,no'
The interviewer replies, 'that says a lot really you've automatically assumed that the Captain is a man'
'Hmmm, a woman? Like I said, not so strange nowadays' retorted the unsuccessful applicant.
