AA,
Agreed, but it's not exactly professional to make the situation worse and bring it to the attention of anyone trying to sniff out gossip/info on aircrew, is it?
That was only part of my argument, it is the lack of respect for a fellow aviator that galls me.

Well I think she's a 'love' and someone any guy would be more than happy to take home to meet his mum and dad ..... 
and I hope she keeps the photo for many years to come, and has a laugh over it from time to time .....
ps. re. the Queen and your man ...... oh dear !!!!!!!! .....

Would you be leaping to her defence had she been an Other Rank?
diginagain,
I would be leaping to the defence of anyone within my unit or Corps, were they to be so disgracefully treated by their peers, Officer or Other Rank.
I'm sure she will keep the photo for many years, and chuckle acccordingly, but in the privacy of her own home and with friends, not under the gaze of the world. The fact that she has not 'given as good as she got' is what I would call a dignified silence. I'm sure that banter is rife in the crewroom, and rightly so, but were it to descend to the levels seen earlier on this thread, she would be justified in landing a punch or two, IMHO!
Let's drop it.

My apologies, wokkameister, no insinuation or slur was implied.
Perhaps my judgement was clouded by memories of hypocrisy experienced some years ago when the AAC first embraced the concept of female pilots. A SNCO of my acquaintance experienced a period of what ranged from gentle banter to outright sexism. She coped with it, as will your friend, I'm sure, without much support from the CoC.

diginagain,
The basis of your argument suggests that if it was alright then, it is alright now. Should we bring back Badger Baiting, or maybe the Black and White Minstrel Show?
Contrary to popular belief, the AAC is no longer populated solely by dinosouars who believe that women should not be flying. That is not to say that we don't have any dinosoaurs, but there are some of us who are trying to stand up and be counted and do the right thing by our comrades.
Dinosoaurs are no longer welcome. Especially T Rex, as he has very short arms and long pockets - never bought a beer in his life....

I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could
