I had completely forgotten about this myth, which was big back in the seventies...
Son arrived while my husband was a 737 co, daughter came when he was flying 707's. A pilot friend of ours, 727 then first generation 747, had 3 sons. So, there goes all the theories

40 odd years of long haul, short haul, instruction, aerobatics, moments of sheer terror etc, produced two sons. Cousin pretty much the same career, produced two daughter, go figger??
I do remember being told the the acidy /alkalinity of the female internal plumbing did matter as it favoured one or other of the two types by slowing one and giving the edge to the other type of sperm. Can't remember which produced boys which girls but the medium could be detirmined before hand and then douched appropriately so as to 'choose' or at least swing the odds.

I would want to see an analysis of variance. Groups should be Long haul, non flying, short haul and a control group. Variables would include hours at high altitude, frequency of coition, alcahol consumption, excercise (ha ha as if) etc..
I would also like to get all the women to do a dream diary and examine them for penis envy. I suggest that the statistical instrument be Goodness of Fit. Er did I say that one out loud?

I have two friends who are airline pilots and married to each other and created a wee boy, so I can't see that it's probable, just co-incidence...
Also like the survey which proved that all male swimmers were likely to read a particular newspaper, it depends on the statistical evidence gathered and tests used upon it.
