Before Ansett, Deb flew a Twin Comanche VH-MED, poor girl copped some ribbing from the boys and took it with good humour. The calls over the radio would get you nailed to a cross these days, humour is now verboten!
I see no restrictions on female pilots today. One ex-Ansett girl is now a 777 Captain with EK. One thing they did change in Ansett was the 'special information book', lacking any 'special information for crew' it quickly filled up with very saucy pin-up pictures. The girls started to replace them with pictures of nude men. The book disappeared very quickly.
