I know full well than some can, so yes I agree. And the competent

all with the same brush, or however the saying goes.

Which, of course, you pretty much did with your initial post (I am
sorry, but I couldn't resist- you left yourself open for that one

Well, not really. I didn't imply that _all_ women pilots
were inferior, only that, just maybe, overall as a group, they
possibly had a higher accident rate than men.

I'll admit that the only cockpit I've ever even SAT in was in a Herc
that was parked at an airshow.
Nice airplanes. But terribly uncomfortable to ride in.

I've also heard they're not much fun to land.

I rode along on a short journey a few years back. Even the co-pilot was
sick. (Mind you, we had all been out on the lash the night before.)

(I do not condone that behaviour, of course. Still, it was a good craic!)

Hah. Try being on one on an approach to Baghdad, Balad, or Mosul.
There ain't no such thing as a long, stabilized approach in this
country. I've done those rides (as pax) on a B737, C130, and AN24.
They are all white-knucklers.
