I'd prefer someone that is more focused on the flying and spends less time sticking 360 degree cameras out of the cockpit on a selfie stick.

Are female pilots still news?

You must be from the 20th century?

Not quite, I just made it into the 21st century when I flew from Fairoaks with a female pilot to the 2001 FA Cup final in Cardiff Wales.....

She was extremely professional, correctly dressed and no selfies!

I wouldn't care where she sat as long as it wasn't my seat, she didn't touch anything, or didn't say anything other than the bare essentials I need to know to get the job done.

Now that is a 20th century attitude

There only two kinds of people in pilot seats: first, what the US Army told us they were trying to create in their aviation training- aviators, people with a personal dedication to learning everything they could about the profession, techniques and air frames they operated in order to perform at their maximum capability and efficiency; and those who others who filled pilot seats, jobs, without regard to the quality of the job. No offense to this attractive young lady, but I've never seen romance, in any degree expressed on the job, improve professional performance- Period!

Perhaps being physically beautiful is a handicap?

Well, if you want to get more work - that is one way to go about it. No criticism from me as these days, you have to take your opportunities or make them.

Give her a break, she’s 29 not 19, and self-financing her helicopter training through savvy media marketing. Taking advantage of her good looks? Sure, it’s called advertising and it’s a serious industry. Looks like she’s doing her Commercial license at a serious school known for quality industry-oriented training - Chinook.
At least she isn’t sucking off the tit of government financed training, like military.

Got her CPL on her own two feet, currently working 2 years of ground crew at Blackcomb ... can't really criticise her for any of that can we?

HaHa, that's the funniest line I have seen for a long time. I enjoyed sucking off the Queens Tit (She paid for my training).
In a world where its getting increasingly confusing as I get older, its just nice to look at a pretty girl, in a nice helicopter over some stunning scenery. She can haul on my collective anytime!

"I wish I was born handsome instead of rich!" said no male helicopter pilot ever!

This young Lady has been blessed....and if she is as wise as she is attractive....she will be in some Gulfstream Iron and never look back at another helicopter ever!

oh, you mean the place where you have to pass a selection process, run a constant risk of failing sorties and being chopped and where standards are maintained by training organisations that don't have to make a buck to pay their pilots?????And where being pretty makes no difference and you can't market yourself on social media???
And where you are expected to go and put your life on the line to defend your country once you have been trained?? yes that really does sound like sucking the tit of Govt

I'd assume the young lady is following this thread. Would the posters be as outspoken with her in person?

If she is following this thread she probably thinks what a bunch of grumpy old men! That aside if she is following would be great to hear from her.
