Flew to Doha from Bahrain last Wednesday and was surprised to see that the FO was a woman. How many female pilots are there in QA?
Petite little thing so not much use as ballast :}

well as far as i known pilot is not a job dedicated only for male..!
I think in qatar airways we must have 5...6 female F/O.
I used to fly in a company before where we have a lot a female pilots,..even instructor and training manager.
Cheers.

They have had female pilots in QR for a long time now. I remember two in particular who were always a pleasure to fly with!!!

Not on the line! If she was; there would have been a special supplement in Gulf News to explain that she is the first, biggest, tallest and best female cadet pilot in the world.

I believe, but most probably wrong, Gulf air several months ago had a press release "First female pilot in the Gulf", will go back and do some research as to when. But who cares good flying to all.
Sorry Just within gulf air.
