My point is that many women are now being accepted through lower entrance standards I suspect it's the other way around. There are fewer women pilots, ergo they are selected from a more adept pool of possible applicants. This logic makes no sense. And to respond to your other post, you wrote: Well, to be fair, that's surely because the woman pilot is still a rarity. All rarities get mentioned in newspaper stories until it becomes too politcially incorrect to do so. When I was a young journalist, it was standard practice to mention the race of a criminal if he were black. Now of course that is not done. Indeed, I worked on a newspaper in the process of change. We were forbidden to mention the race of a defendant in a court martial, so we vied with each other to come up with the most original physical description, to see what we could get past the editor. But in the news reports I've happened to read on these crashes, they simply mention the names of the pilots, which, in most cases, reveals gender. ---------- |
