Luuk Chaai Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 food for thought ...... The FAA is overseen by Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg what could possibly go wrong ..... ( very long list ) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgealbert Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 Really? You do understand that the FAA only regulates the USA airspace and there is a lot bigger world outside of that. The OP linked to a video, that shows pilots from GOL, a Brazilian airline, under Agência Nacional de Aviação Civil (ANAC), but lets not let facts get in the way of your views. Please expand on why you dislike Pete Buttigieg, be fully honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgealbert Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 (edited) This from the RAAF, will trigger a few insecure posters, that seem to be intimidated by females doing professional aviation roles. https://australianairpowertoday.com.au/female-aviators-take-the-lead/ Edited March 25 by Georgealbert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rampant Rabbit Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 im disappointed she isnt a trans woman pilot, I see the usual crap of every man being a misogynist rears its ugly head, they just cant help themselves can they. How about if the airline is lowering standards to get diversity and inclusivity, I think they need more dwarf pilots preferably of colour with adhd, intersex etc etc etc Flying fart not given Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about if the airline is lowering standards to get diversity and inclusivity, I think they need more dwarf pilots preferably of colour with adhd, intersex etc etc etc Flying fart not given Thank you for proving my point, by posting more total nonsense, can you provide some links to these lowering of standards. Sorry, but I know you will find this difficult to understand, but pilot standards and training, is issued in guidance from IATA (The International Air Transport Association) and ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organisation). Pilot licensing is then dealt with by the countries aviation regulator, CAAT(Thailand), CAA(UK), FAA (USA), EASA (EU),etc. There is no lowering of standards, the standards are the same for all, but that will not meet your perceived insecure agenda.

Georgealbert Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 The number of female pilots in US passes 5% in 2023. https://www.flyingmag.com/insights-number-of-female-u-s-pilots-at-all-time-high/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ncc1701d Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 The worry should not be on the gender but on experience levels. Every airline on the planet is currently desperate for pilots and they are looking at every demographic to hire. A lot are lowering their requirements to achieve that. Outside of the USA, the terms and conditions of being a pilot are not attractive, the lifestyle is not great and the treatment of pilots in general has been appalling. As a passenger though, there is no way to know the experience levels of your pilots and you won't know it from their gender. It doesn't matter if the captain is the best pilot in the world - if their first officer is useless, it will negatively impact the performance as a crew as a whole. Personally I don't like the "look at me" social media posts - I think it cheapens the profession. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
