Believe it or not Ron, women even fly commercial airliners. I helped train some of BA's first lady pilots. Very good they were too. :y

I am well up for accepting that, Shackeng.
I concur, going by my teaching experiences in college.
Most of my students were male, since the profession does not attract females often. This saddens me, because it has been my experience that when I do get the occasional female, she excels at everything, with a far better work ethic than the boys and little messing about!
Why, oh why did they meet with hostility and piss-taking, even from some of my colleagues?
My tongue-in-cheek comments to Lizzie were just teasing!  :P

Women have been flying single and twin seat fast jets very well in the RAF for at least 10 years Liz  ;)

But I still would stop you all driving and voting  :P ;D

I flew with a Captain once who had flown RAF fast jets and commercial big jets, and he retired never having had a driving licence! :y

I know.  I was just emphasising how women now would be part of the Shackleton crew, if still flying, as they are in the current AWACS.

They also, as Shackeng rightly points out, great commercial aircraft pilots.  The only problem is there is not enough of them due to girls of the past, such me, being brought up to think they were not good enough, just as how my mum treated me, to take on such roles.  Thank goodness things have greatly changed on that front!

Girl power!! :y :y :y

Never mind all that "girl power" rubbish, Lizzie: we are equal, but different and we should simply celebrate that.  ;D 8) :y

But 'Girl Power' may be rubbish to you Ron, but it has made more men recognise what you have correctly stated than ever before!  When I was a child no "standard" man would ever admit women are equal to them, and treated women accordingly. :-* :-* :-* 8) ;)

I NEVER subscribed to the one "superior, one inferior" mind-set - maybe I was ahead of my time?
Way back in the '60s, we had a tracer in the drawing office who was underused and goven only menial jobs to do, with no input other than copying.
I always went to her (and she wasn't drop-dead gorgeous, if that is whnat you might be thinking!) when I wanted any of my designs drawn up, because the D.O. handled the mechanical aspect of the design. She was brilliant, and far more co-operative than the macho, up-themselves shitbags blokes in the D.O.
As you can tell, we got on and enjoyed working together.  :y

Thanks Lizzie.
Another example, from my college days. There was a (rare) female in an Electronics class who one day complained to me about the sexist attitude of one of my colleagues, saying that he was always belittling her and making snide comments as to why she was even on the course.
I said that I took the pee out of her on a daily basis in  a similar fashion.
She replied, "yes, but YOU don't mean it"
She was dead right, of course - but teasing can be fun!  ;D :P

The only time I have been flown by a female pilot, I joked as we walked to the plane "Oh god, don't let her drive".

On approach to Luton, she broke the plane, so we got sent to Stanstead for the full emergency landing treatment.

When we were getting off, I said "I told you not to let her drive", only I wasn't joking any more...
