Genghis;
You and I are now old and crinkly, and have reached a level in our areas of expertise where few women have yet to tread, but they will. I know a young lady who has just completed an aeronautical engineering degree, I was surprised to find out how many women were on her course (about 40%).
A heck of a lot in aviation requires a lot of experience. It takes time to get that experience, but once that experience is earned doors open. A newly qualified CPL (of any sex) is not going to make a trainer, or ops manager, until they have done some time.
