Bulldog89, well it's not fair either that when I've been dispatching a/c I've had a captain refuse to speak to me and ask for another dispatcher, but that's life and I'm not gonna kick up a fuss about that.
And whilst I don't need to speak to women it's nice to hear their experiences as personally I find it easier to relate to them, just like I spoke with women that were working in STEM when I chose to study engineering at uni. It's good to hear their experiences of having time away from work to have children, and hear how they feel that their company respects them just as much as their male counterparts.
