Superwoman two pilot flight to SFO.

Check out the latest video. The Superwoman flight to SFO. Only shows two pilots. Perhaps the other two were camera shy or had a penis.

Don - the augmenting pilots were indeed of the weaker male species. The augmenting captain was from the bastion of female equality - India.

The cabin crew also had a large quantity of males in all cabins.

Much like a normal flight really.

Wow. It's so unlike EK to misrepresent the truth.

Oh wait there...

SOPs,

Look: All-women Emirates crew operates world's biggest plane

I’m not jealous at all about the Superwomen, but I am jealous that now my former employer is values it’s pilots.

Look they even made a video

They missed a guy at 00:32

But really, a 'all-female' flight wouldn't fit with their own SOP, wherever possible there is a min number of male cabin crew required for 'cultural and safety' reasons...

But I suppose I didn't see a claim that it was 'all female' just that it was 'majority female'.

By highlighting it, it focuses on inequality.

Buddy what's with the racist remarks? It was not even necessary to make your point.

May I know from which superior race you belong to ?

Isn't India the country with the highest percent of women pilots?

I am more impressed by the female engineers and push back supervisor. Piloting may appeal to certain women with perceived status and glamour attached but attracting women to engineering is more challenging.

Don, that title is by GN, I meant that EK themselves did not appear to claim it was 'all female' in the video, merely a 'Superwomen' flight aka majority female

Their own headline reads: "Emirates gives centre stage to women"

Equality or social engineering.

This is worthy of a view for perspective.
