The boys at play yesterday

There must have been something in the air, as yesterday afternoon on the other side of the mountains I was driving past Dalcross and a JP5 of all things went wazzing down the main runway. I lost him crossing my 6 as he went southbound. Happy memories of lurking around the Dales in the Linton wx ship many centuries ago.
The boys? Really!
In 2018.
How long have we had female aircrew?

Not at all outraged, not in the least, and not in the least offended either, just pointing out casual sexism.
And to quote John Cleese;
”Snowflake”. A word used by sociopaths in an attempt to discredit the notion of empathy.

Wouldn't it be be better to give the % of women selected as aircrew (not just officer cadre)?
Anyway, surely the vast majority of that 14% Ken mentions will be admin and catering Officers

Hope you enjoyed watching the A400M fAtlass being flown by the boys / girls / don't knows / don't cares HMFC accepts these days. To keep pr00ne's champagne socialist sensibilities happy, we must be diversity-aware and give equal credit to the LGB-TUVWXYZs, I guess...
But it's good to see A400M zipping around here in British West Oxfordshire these days!

Well said Numpty!
Presumably he would have it as 'The boys and girls and LGBTs at play'.
Ah well, boys will be boys. But these days, 2018 that is, boys will be girls and girls will be boys; and women will be all things.
I prefer Wikipedia's meaning of the word to that of Cleese. And should the cap fit ------

And to quote me. John Cleese. A man who used to be funny but is now just full of bitter sarcasm.

Read the other day that the Service had recently taken delivery of its twentieth A400M. Most of them seem to have been transiting over my house lately - wot a racket!

You may well be the first in the history of Pprune Military to openly complain about having too many new aircraft.
Im not sure whether to congratulate you or ask what you’re smoking.
