threepwood, yes they've had women pilots since the early 90s. They currently have 82 female pilots (which I wrote in my first post
) trained and certified on the entire MS fleet.

Qatari and Yemeni Airlines have female pilots too. A local Dash 8 operation here, Dhabi Aviation, has ladies flying with them. In fact one of the girls at Yemeni foiled a hijack a few years ago.

That thread started with female student fighter pilots....
not much to do with airline stories. As it's much easier to become an airline pilot than a fighter jock, so it should be easier for airlines to integrate women than for air forces to do the same ?
When I was in Saudi Arabia, I watched some years ago a young lady flying USAF F15, just before we took off to Iraq - in fact no problem with me, I just thought "should you bail out above one those wonderful countries you have been bombing the minutes before, run like hell !! (or really trust the CSAR helos...)
