I haven't seen any stats on this, but it seems to me that, just
maybe, there could be a much higher rate of crashes when there
are ladies in the cockpit.

Why ever might such a thing "seem" to you?

*shrug* I've got a 40-year-old oriental woman who's barely 5' tall as a
commercial instructor. She gets a lot of crap from the old boys who show
up. "Oh, hi there. I'd like to [rent a plane, buy some charts, take
lessons, charter a flight...] Are you the owner's wife?"

Not only is she a commercial, instrument and multi-instrument flight
instructor, she's working on her second math PhD (already has one in
Calculus), graduated from the Air Force Academy and is currently a Major in
the USAFR.
