Lapses in judgment, breaches of air discipline, and fate's knack of piling-on to the inept/unprepared are as old as aviation. These insidious factors are not gender or race particular, and we can surely surmise that as female or minority pilots gain more exposure, they too, will be included on lists like your's. I can think of several already, but the sensibilities of some here are too easily offended.
I agree! I was just trying to comment at Browtails level. It is absurd to think that only "white males" make mistakes. As you mentioned no race, creed, or color is a "better" aviator than another. I was just trying to show how outrageous Browntails "standards" are. No offense intended!
