Typical lady pilot chatting to her mum before take off
Bigots and misogynists the World over agree that women are "not suited" to piloting aircraft and that putting them in the pilot seat unnecessarily risks human lives. Even when they are not "on the rag."
Of course, this is just an outdated Neanderthal stereotype left over from the Victorian period, when a single woman ruled the entire World with the help of a few humble male servants. More modern and up-to-date minds now realise that women have just as much potential as men, and, with the right training, can certainly fly something as simple as a jet aircraft.
However, the strong prejudice against female pilots received a horrible boost recently after a lady pilot crashed her plane into a gorge near the Nepalese town of city of Pokhara, apparently killing all 72 people on board.
When the crash happened the BBC, deeply concerned about the harm this incident would do to the prospects of female pilots, tried to cover up the fact that the pilot was in fact a woman and even reported that a man was at the controls:
However, subsequent reporting from other sources less invested in female empowerment, like Reuters, made it clear that it was indeed a lady who was at the controls:
Unfortunately, this single occurrence of bad luck will be used by bigots, incels, and women haters to besmirch the reputation of the thousands of talented lady pilots safely crisscrossing our skies to take us to our holiday destinations.
The airlines that are doing the most to challenge the cruel antediluvian stereotype that women pilots are shit are shown in the graph below. Air India is in the lead, with a mold-shattering 12.7% of its pilots having "bobs and vagene". Well done!
The pilot of the flight that crashed in Nepal did not report "anything untoward" as the plane approached the airport, a spokesman said. Anup Joshi said that the "mountains were clear and visibility was good", adding there was a light wind and "no issue with weather".
However, subsequent reporting from other sources less invested in female empowerment, like Reuters, made it clear that it was indeed a lady who was at the controls:
On Sunday, [Anju] Khatiwada, 44, was the co-pilot on a Yeti Airlines flight from Kathmandu that crashed as it approached the city of Pokhara, killing at least 68 people in the Himalayan nation's deadliest plane accident in three decades... On Sunday, she was flying the plane with an instructor pilot, which is the standard procedure of the airline," said an Yeti Airlines official, who knew Khatiwada personally.
