Indian Airlines did it first
To put the record straight. probably I was a tiny tot then but a friend whose father who worked there mentioned that Indian Airlines had the very first all women crew way back in the early or middle 80's! I hope this friend is right or for sure I will be embarassed by all U guys!!

BA - Comair - Kulula
moggie The Captain flew 727 before converting to 737. So, which franchise is this then, because BA never had any 727?

What a completely ridiculous non-story. Just after some publicity me thinks.
I've operated as part of an all female crew regularly, to many destinations, and I am absolutely certain that there have been "all women crews" to just about every continent in the years preceding this "event".
How totally ridiculous.
I think it would be more unusual to have an all-male crew.
I have never flown with an all-male cabin crew and male Captain, so suspect that must be far rarer.

Guns.........You must not be taking your medicine.
I must be getting old as back in the days it was not important if it was an all male or all female crew. What was important was did they all get "pissed" and /or "laid' on the overnighter......
Time marches on........

Somewhere there's two empty go-go cages....
I heard the best quote from a female captain on the ATR-72. She said, "Women pilots have to be twice as good to be respected. Fortunately, it's not that hard!"

so sad their night stop would have been a big f**ck up, not getting la*d off or pissed.
All male or all female crew flight is no fun these days, it should always be one male and a female pilot in the cockpit. I am sure the aviation phsychologists will be working overtime on the advantage of this type of rostering for tech crew......

Sorry folks but this thread is fast degenerating into a bowl of sexist drivel. Read the number of sensible posts and see how it's gone downhill. Thread locked.
