Why were the captains qualifications questionable? She had almost 5000hrs, 1600 on type and passed her check rides at CAE in the Netherlands, that all sounds reasonably qualified (and yes, she undeniably messed up big time on the last flight). I would not be surprised if they were selected based on gender, but that alone does not make them unqualified. Having to defend a female pilot is hard when the accident is clearly a result of her errors, but I have yet to see a study that shows female pilots are more accident prone then their male counterparts. Using terms like lady-pilots is not helpful in anyway, so no, I don't understand.
And correct me if I am wrong, but your ending of your first post suggests to me you might not be totally okay with equal rights.

I think the engines flamed out because of high AOA

IF someone is employed because of his/her gender, then one could hardly call this equal rights. Even if the leftwingers and/or feminists say so, its not.

You are absolutely right, and the whole preferential hiring thing is a can of worms that is hard to solve. As a left-winger/ feminist myself I have no problem with hiring QUALIFIED "minorities" to rectify the obvious discrimination they have endured in the past, but I can see it offends the sensibilities of the WASP (White Anglo Saxon Pilots) population to the point they get their panties in a twist.

So your example for WASP pilots having twisted panties is:

who had "history" and clearly some other issues than being a WASP:

Particularly 'nice' is :

So if I´m, say, 22, male and just had my license finished and I compete with a 22 year old female with an equally fresh license and she gets hired because OTHER males in the PAST have treated OTHER females bad / wrongly (exchange female with any minority if you wish) then you are fine with that ?

Are you one of these individuals who think racism and prejudice is only possible to origin from white persons, particularly white men ?

<A> Yes, I have no problem provided equally qualified.

<B> Nope, as a white guy who has lived and experienced discrimination by non-white in both Asia and Africa I can confirm most people are capable of racism. The issue at hand is however the historical discrimination against non-white-male-pilots.

Plus 1. Some of us (including me) were sort of off topic. Apologies.

Equality will come when we start remarking on the gender of every male crew that turn their aircraft into a hole in the ground/water. There have been a lot more of them. :ugh:

AF447 - "The FO-gentleman held the stick in a stall for 30000 feet....."

JT904 - "The testosterone-laced male crew continued the approach even after losing visual contact with the runway, and ended up in the ocean....."

Is this story related to this crash?
