I watched it
I was expecting more "equality" speil for the girl
It is recognised in 2019 that women can do all these jobs, no more or less than a man can. So there is no need to "hammer" the equality issue anymore thank goodness
Let's see how far she goes.
There is already 7 other female pilots in the military, with some many more with the airlines
Seeing that many brave ATA WOMEN flew WW2 warplanes to their new bases in the UK, and even more than that, a female force of Soviet Union pilots, of the 588th Night Bomber Regiment, known as Nachthexen, or “night witches", due to the strange noise their early bombers made, dropping 23,000 tons of bombs on Nazi targets during 30,000 missions during WW2, it should not be questioned about women flying aircraft into battle.
FTFY.
In 1990/1 I was involved with the flying training of the first lady pilot on Tristars. Michelle (name changed to protect her modesty) was a lovely lady, and a good pilot, very well constructed, but quite short of stature, requiring her seat to be fully forward for takeoff, in order to allow her to operate the rudder pedals to their full extent. This caused a slight difficulty in that this brought her embonpoint rather close to the control column. As most of you will know, one of a pilot's pre-flight checks is to to operate all the flying controls to ensure full and free movement, thus, if the Captain was doing the take-off, when it came to operating the control column fully aft during his pre-flight check, he would call: "T1ts Michelle", allowing her to adjust her seat, if she was already fully forward, to prevent possibly painful injury. I can imagine if that occurred nowadays a woman pilot would, perhaps justifiably, take serious issue, but Michelle, trooper that she was, took it in good spirit, and was thenceforth known throughout the airline as T1ts Michelle. She later became a Captain, and a year or so ago I met a Captain on a BA flight who, when I told him I had been on Tristars, asked me if I knew T1ts Michelle, as he had gone out with her at one stage, and that she was still known by that name.
To demonstrate how things have moved on, I was recently on a long haul BA flight with two lady pilots, and the very nice Captain came back to the cabin to chat to me, and told me her boy friend was a steward working in the economy cabin!
Back in the day, male Captains lived with stewardesses.
Yes, women have come a long way on their own merits, not as a result of favouritism or class status that even men had to suffer back in the earlier days of flying. The same goes for the Royal Navy with a growing band of female commanders, which could have persuaded me to join as a youngster if women had been allowed to be on board ship, and I would have followed my dear father, and a grandfather into The Senior Service.
It is a different world now and I believe everyone in society can gain from it
