Female pilot accident rates

"But on the average, men
have better spatial function than women.

Fortunately, they don't make fighter pilots based on averages.

This "information" you
saw two days ago supposedly citing just the opposite would immediately
come under suspicion to me, considering the politics of the last
couple of decades especially.

Then that makes your opinion subjective.

I'll admit that the only cockpit I've ever even SAT in was in a Herc
that was parked at an airshow. But as far as ever being able to fly
an F-14 in carrier operations, we'll never know. Maybe I'm a cocky
s.o.b. but I suspect I'd have had no problems, if I'd chosen that
route--always had great vision, kept very fit, good reflexes/coord., never
had an auto accident, and damn few--very few--tickets, so I'm also
disciplined to obey rules.

Well, hell, dawg. Call up the Navy and ask 'em to hand you the keys to a
Tomcat. Sheesh...decent driving record, good vision, fit, obeys rules. I'd
be surprised if they didn't commission you and let you bypass most of that
training and flight school nonsense altogether.

Truth is, I'd have been more interested in flying the bigger stuff anyway.

*chuckle* Most aviators feel the same way. Those little Tomcats are just
too small, but there's just so much competition getting into the P-3 and
KC-135 fleets. The only people who fly fighter planes off of carriers these
days are the poor sucks who washed out of cargo plane school.

I say, thank God she finally died.

You know, I don't think I've ever heard a genuine aviator thank God for the
death of another.

Maybe he just meant that it was better that this woman be permanently
put out of commission (considering her record, but still being allowed
to fly), rather than crash onto the deck at some time, killing dozens
of personnel in the process. Why is that so hard for you to understand?

How much flight time have you logged, again?

A little anonymity can be a good thing Jay. Why would anyone use their
real
name in a place like this, unless they're selling something? Anonymity
is more likely to bring honesty, as far as inner opinions. Most people
who post with real names make sure they walk the line they've been told
to walk.

He must be talking about guys like Dudley. Yeesh.

And how long was it after they transitioned women to the L-1011 that the
company folded?

So if they changed the color of their stationery, or changed their
letterhead, one could draw the same ridiculous cause and effect connection.

Why in the H-E-double hockey sticks, are you bringing up such an ancient
thread?

Nevermind its antiquity. It was a very obvious troll.

Trolling, yes.

Na, he is a semi-regular that pops in from time to time. Might be time for
the looney bin, for him again.
