@hovertrain7 Yeah, my world, not the whole world. I'm only imagining that men were men and women were women for thousands of years, until 20 years ago it all started to change. You sound like a Mr Knowitall! I'm sure you are very satisfied with the course the world is heading in just like you're satisfied with your face/race you see in the mirror everyday. Good bye, good luck, stop pesting me.

I worked for 12 years at the Japan Airlines Flight Crew Training Center in Napa, California, (now closed), and we had several young ladies enter the pilot training program. I would have no problem getting on a flight with them as PIC. They worked very hard and were very professional. I wish them the best!

@hovertrain7 LOL!!! wrong, wrong, wrong. Yes, I live in a small town right now, and I LOVE IT! That does not make me a redneck. LOL I'm very far from. Believe me, very far from being a redneck. Actually I'm not even an American. I'm European. Yeah, the world is changing...bla...bla...bla... For thousands of years men were men and women were women. Now, for tha past 20-30 years it is all being mixed up. You love it, that's just fine. Have fun.

Let me ask you this... are black men more suited to mediocre service jobs than they are to the Presidency?

@plsniper "The whole world (your world) is being turned upside down."

This is always the lame battle cry of folks who aren't able to adjust to how the world changes. Look, I'm not claiming the whole world is changing for the better. But women being cops and pilots and men raising the kids are as far from our current state of problems as your ideology is from "modern times". Get a grip.

@plsniper Great...when I started flying I had more than one female CFI. (And I am a man, btw.)

"There are jobs more feminine for women." Whether you realize it or not, you're assigning a person's job based on their gender. And that makes you a redneck, whether you realize that or not. Is that what happened, your mom went off to fight while dad stayed home? There's nothing wrong with that picture, buddy. It's a little strange, sure. But your beliefs are based on narrow-minded macho B.S.

@hovertrain7 I was growing up with my mom taking care of the house, and working at an office. My father was a WW2 vet and was a red beret. You can call it sexist or what ever the F you want, but I just can not picture my dad cleaning the house while mom kicks her high heals off, puts on her combat boots and heads for the barracks. LOL, no, I just don't see that. Call it sexist, I call it NORMAL. The whole world is being turned up-side-down and you call it "modern times". Yeah, ok. Bye Ms.Rambo.

@hovertrain7 LOL!! Wow!! :) Everybody's entitled to their own oipinon. No, I'm not threatened by this woman. As a matther of fact, when I started flying, one of my progress check instructors was a female. She was a real cool chick and a good CFI. But I think that there is a problem with the "modern times". I remember when the war started in Iraq, children were staying home with daddy, while mommy went off to fight a war. There's nothing wrong with this picture? To me there is. Take it easy..:)
