Oh my. You have obviously never been to a Muslim country. I am astounded the woman ever got to fly, period. It isn't any wonder at all the PIC didn't listen to her suggestions; men in those countries tend to be a bit chauvinistic, if I may say so.

Gender bias may have played a role, but it may simply have been old-fashioned captain's arrogance.

This woman probably never got any breaks whatever because of her gender, in that country. In Algeria, she probably had to be an outstanding pilot to have even gotten the job. --------------

In Algeria, she probably had to be an outstanding pilot to have even gotten the job. That she had that job at all was due to PC pressures. Algeria, as a former French colony, has a foot in the Western world. Otherwise there is no way she would have been allowed to fly. I am in the Middle East, and it is amazing how women- even Western women- are treated here. But that's another subject entirely.
