women in the sandpit
 

Does anyone out there know the recruiting policies of the new start ups in the sandpit? Do they allow the chicks to have a turn or are they all still zero tolerance to the idea?

Careful what you wish for....... some of the locals have still a
problem if a female has a position who normaly "belong" in
their opinoion to a male. They do not see the quality........

thanks NG.. Combined both of us have over 22,000 hours. Unfortunately she is new to jets. New start from basic
past. Looking forward to a new future. By the way...She 9000 hours of the 22... Thanks for the reply

Heard a chic voice from a Qatar callsign a few nights ago. Might have been wet leased cargo if they go for that kinda thing but might be worth investigating. Have heard female voice from Gulfair once or twice, but may have confused it with Brit FO, could not be sure.
Suggest you ring the major players and ask direct.
Good luck.

Maybe!
 

It came to mind George Michael, Boy George or even Elton John...

"Have heard female voice from Gulfair once or twice, but may have confused it with Brit FO, could not be sure.".


this was really funny!:D :D :D

believe it or not but QR are the fore runners in the ME and have more than one female pilot on the AB there. Maybe the rest will follow shortly....(not likely):uhoh:

Yes Qatar are now interviewing and hiring women. To their shame Emirates have only one token one (as far as I know) related to someone I think.

Good luck.

Oleo,
No need to worry about the token chic driver at EK any more, as there are none. Well have seen one or two dodgey looking fellas there, but am reasonabley sure they are not chics in drag!
Was once a pic of female pilot on recruiting web page, but think it may have been HR person dressed up!!! (Sometimes these pictures need to stay within the bedroom don't you think as they tend to cause confusion!)

:E

QR - yes, and GF has one now also, French I think....

Let them make the tea!
 

Life was much easier when the girls made the tea and the guys fly the plane!... and anyway whilst there are guys with experience unemployed why do we need the girlies?? Yep! bit of a dinasour but used to work great until they began to burn their bra's back in the early '60's....

Mercenary Really !!!! yep, chick in a flight deck = another empty kitchen. What do we need ladies in the flight deck for anyway ? if there is any ******* going on, I'm usually the one on the receiving end... me and most Ryanair pilots that is.

Thank God that most of my male collegues are more professional than you guys. Must be a pleasure working with you...

Pretty stupid reply!
 

Now that is the sort of reply I would have expected! How on earth could you possibly know how professional, or otherwise we may or may not be eh girlie?? I was being shot at whilst you were most likely still wetting your nappies so just wind your neck in an be thankfull that the times have changed for you for the better - but not necessarily for the better in general. And yes! - what about that empty kitchen??

Jeez, I think you need to take a chill pill there Ali old dude - manage to smoke some good :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad: when you were taking all that incoming did you??

The lady is just asking a legit question, give her a break man. Like it or not, there are two versions to our species, one is a bloke , one is a chick - thats it.

Dixon has spoken

Many a true word.......
 

Two versions! Yes Yes Yes exactly as I thought...men and women..and we are different eh? so you noticed too...
so many empty kitchens and kids in "day care" I was wondering whether or not the chicks as you call them had forgotten their place???..........he he!

It's a shame you were not hit!!
 

Getting Shot at Ali? Where was this and who's side were you on? (with a name like Ali????)

I am surprised that this has not been moderated to the point of removal, with you and your bigget comments! It's a crying shame that you were not hit! And I suspect that it was bad accuracy on behalf of the gunner as apose to a testiment to your flying abilities.

Dinasour you may be, but you have to pull your head out of your arse and realise that the rest of your species died a LONG TIME AGO!!!

I can feel a short trip over to jetblast coming on...........:(

Both Emirates and Qatar have expat female pilots - I met 1 from each last week.

Hi Bus429, no females in EK at the moment. Rgds.

Gulf Air took on their first 2 female pilots earlier this year - both Europeans I believe.
