Women Pilots

[planedriver]

When I was in the pub earlier today, I heard a couple of bogans saying that they wouldn't feel safe on an aircraft if they knew the pilot was a woman.

 

What a pair of sexists boof-heads. I mean, it's not as if she'd have to reverse the damn thing! (sorry Kaz, Sally, and others)

Might have to if it was a C17!

Women have less serious car accidents, if i remember statistics right. So there are several places they are better than males.

Having worked in a flying school for nearly ten years I know many absolutely excellent women pilots but as to the car accidents that may not stay true for long judging by the number of leadfoot "P" plate female drivers that I see around, so incredibly aggressive and so lacking skill & experience.

I remember a certain very well known female pilot who many years ago finally got to sit in the left-hand seat by herself.

 

She was so exhilarated when she got into her car to go home she tramped the foot and left Moorabbin in a cloud of rubber smoke.

 

She was driving an E-type.

 

The traffic policeman was very nice but she still had to explain herself in court.

I had a couple of very good female instructors, one would probably be as good as any man.

Whoohoo.......I'm almost out of the 2nd group........and I don't drink.

I read some stats some years ago now, but they went on to talk about a demographic that almost 100% had crashed at some time. The group in question.......QLD police motorcyclists.

 

I hope things have changed.
