I found it most distracting from the passengers. We kept the cockpit door shut after the flight so that the passengers would get off in a Tiimely manner and not stop to look and ask questions.<br />We needed to get our post flight duties done and run to our next flight!<br /><br />Before I flew with an all female crew ... Male pilots would often remark when we made our preflight introductions.. I have never flown with a woman before.<br /><br />I would always say.. I haven't either. Somehow that always made them feel better! Like we were in the same clb or something.. <br /><br />After the flight they could not say that any more and I always wanted to leave a good impression for their first time.. For many it would be the only time flying with the other gender.<br /><br />I knew I had help melt away their fears when they ran out of questions and started talking about the same subects they taked to their male counterparts about.. <br /><br />I never purposefully sceduled an all female crew like some have I. The past.. I will say it was great fun and would love to have more flights with others women pilots.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13650825000103780241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365694083878106600.post-71651604325612732962010-02-17T14:49:52.127-08:002010-02-17T14:49:52.127-08:00Hey, just found your blog.

I'm writing a novel with Amelia Earhart in it and have been doing tons of research which makes it so clear how much sexism there is in this business, or rather the business of flying. I love the idea that an all female crew might somehow go crazy because it was their time of the month. At least with us it only happens once a month, and not on a daily basis, just kidding.roseduncanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16146205623848645811noreply@blogger.com
