Passenger Tells A Female Pilot Flying Is 'No Place For A Woman' - Careers Articles

There is a whole list of people you're smart not to tick off: a state trooper who pulled you over. A surgeon just before your operation. Your boss when asking for a raise. Oh, and the aircraft pilot you're trusting your life with while traveling.

But that's what a WestJet passenger in Canada did on a routine flight from Calgary to Victoria, British Columbia. Someone by the name of David left a note claiming that a pilot's chair was "no place for a woman" and left it for Captain Carey Smith Steacy, a commercial airline pilot with 17 years of experience, according to CTV News. Addressed to the captain and WestJet, the note, a photo of which is available online at Imgur, scrawled with many misspellings and grammatical errors on a small napkin, read that the "cockpit of airlier is no place for a woman" and that "being a mother is the most honor." The note went on to say that there was a shortage of mothers, not pilots.

women make great pilots

my first flying experience was from the neighbor lady

who took us flying with her float plane

in WW11 female pilots logged over 60 million miles

What a stupid dick, maybe someone should buy him a book on the female pilots of WWII?

 

[Gracie]

outta rep or I'd bump ya both.

 

[ABikerSailor]

You know....................I'm pretty sure that there are a few U.S. Navy fighter pilots who are women that would beg to differ with him.

Matter of fact, women make pretty damn good pilots, even when it comes to fighter aircraft.

The dude that left that note needs to have his head removed from his ass.

 

[Gracie]

He also left a....cough..cough...biblical message along with the note.

Just goes to show you how some of these "Christians" really think.

Yes, and they were only trying to find their way to the shops.

Bet the guy was a Christian conservative who believes that her rightful place is in the kitchen, serving her husband and caring for their six kids.

Amelia Earhart would beg to differ!!!!

Whe I told this story to some of our pilots, they said the same thing about some of the best pilots they know are women.

And a huge number of those miles were over Greenland, ferrying planes from the US to Britain. A very difficult and dangerous route.

Shoulda set the auto-pilot then gone into the passenger cabin after annoucing she agreed and some man should go take the controls.

Studies have demonstrated women are in fact better than men as pilots oweing to their superior multitasking capability.

Can we stop with the generalized feel good study crap making it now seem women pilots are better then men, and just say a pilot is a fucking pilot?

What is with this need to feel not only equal but superior all the damn time???

When they suffer accidents a quarter as often, as the link states, it's relevant and beyond 'I'm ok, you're ok.'

 

[rdean]

Can't imagine a Democrat saying that about women.

 

[Iceweasel]

Hey, come on. Why do you think it's called a cockpit anyway?

 

[Delta4Embassy]

Can't imagine any politician saying it, but I'm not a politician. I'd rather be right than popular.

The researchers found that loss of control on landing or takeoff was the most common circumstance for both sexes, leading to 59 percent of female pilots¹ crashes and 36 percent of males¹. Experiencing mechanical failure, running out of fuel, and landing the plane with the landing gear up were among the factors more likely with males, while stalling was more likely with females.

The majority of the crashes --* 95 percent for females and 88 percent for males --* involved at least one type of pilot error. Mishandling aircraft kinetics, such as incorrect use of the rudder, poor response to a bounce, or inability to recover from a stall, was the most common error for both sexes, but was more prevalent among females (accounting for 81 percent of the crashes) than males (accounting for 48 percent). Males, however, appeared more likely to be guilty of poor decision-making, risk-taking, and inattentiveness, examples of which include misjudging weather and visibility or flying an aircraft with a known defect. Females, though more likely to mishandle or lose control of the aircraft, were generally more cautious than their more venturesome male counterparts.
