Mr. Dipschitz needs to be a little more careful with his facts. Both
pilots
were out on medical.

Please elaborate.

He said "Delta Airlines had a couple of female pilots sitting at home
getting
full pay - one of which I flew with personally. They were fired for
incompetence."

"Sitting at home getting paid" suggests they were goofing off and managing
to collect a paycheck. No, he didn't specifically say that, but without any
clarification, the reader is invited to draw that conclusion.

According to my information, one was retired on the medical, not fired for
incompetence. I believe the other one is still on medical, although I'm
still trying to get definitive information.

Leaving aside these specific examples, there have been incompetent pilots
ever since there were airlines. If you could somehow determine the number
men and women pilots fired for incompetence, it would be a lose-lose
proposition for women. If comparatively more women were fired, Slo-mo would
say that was prima facie evidence that women as a class are inferior. If
there were comparatively fewer fired, you would cite that as proof that
they're being coddled because of PC.
