Canute, it's not just about her. By calling herself a "bird" she has denigrated female pilots everywhere and made us all look like silly little things who can't do anything ourselves.
I'm sure some of the Waltishness could have been overlooked if she had, say, raised money for charity or scholarships but it was all about her and her sponsors. Listening to a motivational speaker and having your pic taken with royal mates doesn't pay for lessons like a scholarship does.
