Why aren't there more female airline pilots?

Have you ever thought about why you rarely see a women up on the flight deck flying your commercial flight?

Here is a great article posted on the blog GolfHotelWhiskey:  http://www.golfhotelwhiskey.com/why-arent-there-more-female-airline-pilots/comment-page-1/#comment-3146 .

As an airline pilot myself at one time, we were in a very small minority.  Although the passengers were usually surprised at seeing a woman, I always got positive feedback and great comments.

  1. It's an ego dominated job and women are not aggressive creatures. It's really just a part of our nature. Of course, there are exceptions.
