NOT ANOTHER HOMAGE TO FEMALE PILOTS!:ugh::yuk:

(hey they didn't do anything special)

144 pilots course- were there any other graduates then those 3 shiela's? Did anybody else get their wings in 88?

Why is a company based in West Sussex, England making a film about Female Australian pilots? And given the beat-up titled “Welcome Aboard Toxic Airlines” you’ve got in production, why would the flying community want to help you anyway?

You guys have short memories. What you consider routine now was considered revolutionary enough to go to court to prevent in the early 80's.

True, women pilots are no better or worse than men. Until relatively recently though, there was no objective way to find that out. The women who broke down those barriers were pioneers in every sense of the word. I take my hat off to them.

A bit of perspective please.

Weren't there only two chicks passed on 144, or are you counting Brades as well.

And wasn't there one on 145 course? Mullet, Salmon, Trevally - or something like that.

Agree with your sentiments though - all homage to the chicks??!!!:p :p
