Mods move it if it is not in the right subject.

I do follow views of air traffic not just Thailand but every country. But I am very surprised how many female pilots we have now. Don't get me wrong I am not against females in any profession but video | Facebook ago it was just for men (maybe wrongly) So how do you feel is your pilot is a female? Video | Facebook

    Does obtaining a commercial pilot's licence require parallel parking or reversing into a parking space?

    What difference does the pilot's sex make?

I don't think one way or another. But, indeed, I don't believe I have ever seen one on any one of my many flights. I was once surprised to see a fairly young woman operating a cargo train that seemed a mile long.

Oh dear--a misogynist in our midst. I'd rather have a female pilot (or any pilot for that matter) than read ignorant posts like this.

Then it does not matter either way right?

Never had a female pilot. I would be worried as women can't read maps. Might end up in the wrong city.

A bit more adventurous. Best thing that happened to me in India was lose my map and guide book.

I think it's a fantastic trend, most women in Thailand appear to be more intelligent than the average man, and I'm glad that this barrier is being lifted and women are in a position to take advantage of this power to them.

Women pilots are fine. No need to parallel park aircraft.

If we can get past the normal bigots and misogynists and look at the facts, 

 

“The share of women airline pilots is very small - somewhere between 4% and 6%, depending on the data source - although it is increasing.

 

According to ICAO( International Civil Aviation Organisation), the female cohort of airline pilots increased from 3.6% in 2016 to 4.1% in 2021. Data published by the International Society of Women Pilots (ISWAP) put the global share at 5.2% in 2018 and 5.8% in 2021.“


A 2021 survey found that,

 

“Air India had the highest share of women amongst its pilots in 2021, with 12.7%. Next were Aer Lingus, with 9.9%, Hawaiian Airlines, with 9.3%, and United Airlines, with 7.7%.

 

Lufthansa, Alaska Airlines, Air Canada, UPS, Qantas and British Airways were also above the overall average of 5.8%.

 

At the lower end of the scale were Qatar Airways (2.4%), Emirates Airline (2.2%), Aeroflot Russian Airlines (2.2%), Japan Airlines (1.3%) and Singapore Airlines (0.4%)”

I recall years ago Jim Davidson deplaning when the female pilot came over the tannoy. 😋
Wouldn’t bother me because, male or female, they’re put through rigorous testing, and to get into such a traditionally male dominated role takes spunk.

Once the percentage of female pilots gets over 10% they will no longer be allowed to call it a cockpit.
