Ridiculous....they all have the same training.

Niamh!! It's not just me!

I don't want to be 35,000ft in the air worrying whether the pilot is checking her lippy in the rear view mirror.

Next there'll be women doctors if we don't draw the line somewhere.

I don't mind them flying planes but see if they're trying to do a reverse bay park into the airport, we'll be waiting for hours until they get the stairs out and send a male pilot up to do it

..yeah, I guess..but that's because too true to life, the male pilots are all to drunk to fly and the female had been designated driver.....

Ammi I can't believe you would insinuate that all male pilots would be too drunk to fly, that is really offensive to men everywhere and I can't believe you've lowered the tone of the thread, we were all having a fair and unbiased discussion until you showed up with your misandry.

OHHHHH!

In all seriousness though, I don't think I've ever paid thought to the gender of the person flying the plane, I'm usually too busy trying not to be squashed by the obese person next to me and huffing because we're not getting free peanuts because someone has an allergy

Ugh and the compulsive pee-er sitting at the window seat who keeps getting up to go to the toilet every time you start to nod off. As for the screaming baby directly behind you and the drunk holiday group three rows ahead, well they're all just a right bloody nuisance!

..and the person taking all your armrest..falling towards you while they're nodding off to sleep...the child who whines all through the flight and screams if mum tries to ask them not to...those LOOS,..!!!!!.....

..LOL.. the joys of flying..I would think that who was flying the plane..male/female would be the least of your grizzles.....

[Ammi]

..well, so long as they were a qualified pilot, that is....

[smudgie]

Makes no difference to me..I have never been on an aeroplane
