slayyy! I'm in a small town of 35,000 people but one flying school. I'm the only girl learning, there's one woman who just got her C-CAT license and another girl from about an hour away who comes in every now and then. I say I wanna quit sometimes but then I say "I gotta hold it down for the ladies and be a female pilot". Feels funny sometimes going in to the school at age 20, only girl, and being surrounded by men, I feel like I can't do it cause it's more primarily a "male dominated" job...so I def wanna keep going! They say I'm close to going solo so we'll see where that takes me! 30th Jan 2024

As a woman who just turned 24 and decided to go into aviation. Thank you. I truly did not even consider it until I met a female pilot.

[@ossianx8752]

I love this -- let's not compromise on the merit though - that is bad for everyone on many levels. People need to be absolutely 100% confident that everyone flying them is there on merit and merit alone ..... personally I think women might make better pilots - let's not spoil that party by compromising on skills/abilities/temperament just to make the numbers look 'better' .....

[@juliencooper177]

@ossianx8752 I can't see this for anyone being tokenism or any other cheap entry for anyone nor a lowering of standards in any way. Look at those controls and imagine doing this on a good day, it takes training and skill and it takes doing things which at for some time in life there was no need to fit so many controls into and near each hand for example. And then more practice, bad weather, emergencies - at any time it can be your possible last moment you fight to extend in a situation you wish you had more hands and feet in a simulation and in realtime. And in a two-crew member situation in a big airplane, there's just more to do in a bigger flight deck, that colleague to the right or left doesn't make it easier in any situation. I got on any airplane with anyone who had a license to fly and often times I saw or knew the pilot(s). However, I can't fly now, it's gotten too spooky with what I saw (some men had done) out of bad acting though they were equally qualified to fly, repair and service airplanes. It takes several years of learning and practice to do almost anything with airplanes, and more learning and practice just to continue as well as to upgrade and get endorsements. It also takes the right people to start (and) maintain their careers at each professional levels. Good for this woman and all her aviation colleagues who make and keep flying positive and safe. 😊

[@mikep9604]

No, it's not automated. The aircraft is controlled manually when the aircraft is steered to its parking area at the gate. The pilot controls manually the nose wheel and the thrust during the parking phase.

[@briand7946]

I think the best advice you can offer women (and anybody) starting in aviation is to forget about being a "woman" in aviation. I've come up with a bunch of women. There is no barriers they face that men dont. There is a lot of work and qualificaitons to get. Focus on those. If you get passed them all you'll be an airline pilot just like everyone else. It will only make it harder for you coming up, to add some kind of victum hood mentality to all the work that is required. A worker at the aiport cafe saying he has not met a women pilot before is not oppression or discrimination. People have different views and biases. People have questioned whether Im too old to get into this. Who cares what they think. You just get on with it. Im not going to start making youtube videos about over 50s first officers in aviation.

[@echo-channel77]

"There is no barriers they face that men dont." exactly! Nobody wants to fly with someone who whines. It's also an integrity issue, anyone who steps in with that marxist bs "oppression" chip on their shoulder is not something you want to associate yourself with. They're the ones who have the WORST personalities and are completely unpairable.

Can anyone with experience in this job help me out if possible? I have some questions. I come from a family where we aren't financially stable. My main goal is to be able to change that and give to those who I care for, like my parents and siblings. I want them to finally be able to have financial stability and be able to enjoy life. I don't even know what I aspire to be, all I know is I want it to be well-paying. I am aware of some of the downsides of being a pilot, however I am considering it as a job because I've received an opportunity for free training and the pay is good, and it's not like theres something else that I am keen in doing. But my main concern is that I won't ever have enough time to spend my wealth, MOST IMPORTANTLY on and with those who I care about. I don't ever even plan on having children, but I'm very worried I won't be able to see my parents, siblings, etc as often as I'd like too, and there's no point in me making a lot of money when I can't even experience what it's like because of how busy I am. (this is just an assumption that I'm concerned about, I'm not saying that is what it's like) - but this is one of my biggest questions/concerns. Would be greatly appreciated if anyone could answer and help me out. I just want to make sure I'm thinking of all posibilities. Thank you

Clinical psychologists have proven that if you let males and females organise themselves into their own groups, males will naturally tend towards more STEM areas, and females more towards humanitarian jobs, like nursing and teaching. Simple fact is, men and women are different, and women will always be a minority in aviation, as just not that many women want to do it. There haven’t been barriers into aviation for women for decades.

Good for her and what she’s doing is all great, except the part where she mentions family life. She says why can’t men raise the kids instead of women. Because men don’t know anything about raising kids day to day. There’s a reason why divorce court sides with the mother when it comes to child custody. I think that’s the main reason why there’s less female pilots, you’ll be gone from your kids at least half the year.
