re: Women Pilots

I know pilots Male, Female, White, Black, Asian, Hispanic, and in-between who are all capable competent pilots I had no trouble working with and would absolutely trust thier ability as a pilot with my life. I have even controlled a black female NASA pilot in a T-38 and there was zero doubt she was that good. The issue is lowering standards for people who have no buisness in a cockpit to be there for the sake of an airline to say we are diverse while passing over white guys who are qualified. While I believe it is a problem I think it is a little exaggerated I do however see the danger this poses. It really is unfair to those who are legit ,because people will wonder if they see a woman or a minority flying are they really qualified or just a diversity hire. That should never be a thought when it comes to safety in aviation. As I said though I know plenty of female pilots, have flown with them, and many are very good.

Also if this were your pilot would you get on?
