Ethiopian Airlines First Female Captain
Está servira para distraerle.
This'll probably have some non contributory members running to the Mods and of course, perhaps rightly so and possibly this should all be moved to Jet Blast or deleted in its entirety. Still here's an off the peg digression in the interests of Ethiopian aircrew sartorial elegance.
In its etymology the word pilot has a meaning or connotation that is bi-sexual or perhaps even hemaphroditic. Apart from being etymologically incorrect the use of the word pilotess as suggested would be likely to be termed sexist by certain elements among the more structurally inflexible of the mind. It's possible that cases of moral outrage could be provoked by the discrimination inherent in such a distinction. Amelia Earhart wore woolly trouser to keep her warm on long oceanic nights. She wore skirts at other times. Not by the slightest stretch of the imagination could anyone call her unattractive or unfeminine. Howard Hughes never wore skirts in spite of the name of his aeroplane. These days by convention if not by desire and design all pilots wear trousers so that they may be amorphously sexless together. These Ethiopians ladies have adorned with their beauty the strange custom of cross dressing so prevalent among pilots.

Hi!
Anyone with contacts for the new Female Captain at Ethiopian?
My sim partner (we just finished training) was the first female pilot and first female Captain at Air Jaimaica. She helped start a worldwide female pilot's organization, and is in several other women's pilots organizations. Most of the early female captains at the various US carriers are in these organizations.
They would like to invite Capt Endegnanew to join them. If I can get her email, or some other contact method, they will contact her.
A PM would be appreciated!!!

Congratulations to her for making Captain! I may not know her, nor will I probably ever meet her, but she sure has done well!

I agree-the only ones who make a big fuss about gender are those in whose lives it is a huge issue, thus betraying their underlying sexist attitude!
If you didn't care much about gender or classify people purely based on the configuration of their genitalia, gender would be a non-issue, as, I'm sure all those with a progressive attitude would agree, is desirable.
