We do need more women but I definitely agree it would burn if I saw a bunch of young women getting on over experienced guys, unfortunately that is reality these days.
Like any group there are low performers. Several have taken early retirement, some with a strong nudge from the company.
And some of the best pilots I’ve flown with have been female. The span of ability is from outstanding to really weak.
Show up, do job. Background doesn’t matter. Can you perform today?
