POBJOY you linked the fact that the ACO is no longer all male with CB's point that there is less enthusiasm for flying.
ERGO you implied that it is the girls joining that have caused this.
In that case, sir, you are a ******* idiot at best and a ******* sexist **** at worst.
There has ALWAYS been a cadre of Cadets who do not wish to fly, whether male OR female.
That goes back years and years, certainly to my time as a CCF Cadet in the very late '70s, certainly to my late father's time as an A2 QFI in the 60's and 70's.
IME the girls tend to be MORE enthusiastic than the boys.
Get out of you dinosaur attitude and get into the 21C.
