Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO.

I Finally Understand Why Flying is the Safest Mode of Transportation

Post by General Mackevili »

I always assumed it was for technical reasons, or because there isn't hardly anything to crash into while you're up there, but those seem to be unrelated to the reason.

The real reason is pretty obvious! Clearly it's because only 5% of pilots are women!! Who knew? Travel by car would probably be just as safe if 95% of drivers were men. :whip:

Flew with Delta a few weeks back while visiting the states and we had a female airline pilot. I never really thought about it, but it was very different seeing a frumpy looking Captain saying good bye to us as we got off the flight.

Norwegian have less female pilots than Emirates, that's unexpected. :shock: I thought the Scandinavians were way up there on gender equality.

Shhhhh. That will be the next fucking gender equality project. They are currently on about STEM and practically have to force girls into these subjects. Do you want your next pilot to be some disgruntled woman who wanted to be a nurse but was upsold on the idea that what she really NEEDS is more math and physics. Hello German Wings.

"The revolution did more than legally create the United States; it transformed American society... Far from remaining monarchical, hierarchy-ridden subjects on the margin of civilization, Americans had become, almost overnight, the most liberal, the most democratic, the most commercial minded, and the most modern people in the world." - Gordon S.

Actually up until they made sex discrimination in insurance illegal here women paid less for car insurance because they have cheaper accidents. Also, wasn't it a bird who just landed that plane that lost an engine? Seem to recall she was some sort of ex-top gun, too. She's got a stupid American name, though, so there is that.

Let's face it. Women have their place.

But it is not Usually one where logic, map reading, mechanics or rationality is involved.

They are lovely little creatures but best left to other domains.

I am surprised that since you wrote this that Miss Ros has not been written up on the news for committing a grave injustice on your person.
You are more brave or stupid than am I...... =@
