Bingo.
The bottom line is that EVERYTHING that has been posted on this thread about women can equally be attributed to men. That includes:
1. Ability
2. Confidence
3. Family life
4. Attitude
5. Unfair hiring practices
The women I fly with do just fine. So do the men. Some individuals make mistakes (including me), but those mistakes cannot be genearlized and said to be indicitive of the entire gender that they belong to. The tendancy for people to do this --men and women -- is probably the biggest obstacle that a new female entrant to the airline industry will have to struggle with.
