In the college environment, the female students were very well accepted. One of my favorite instructors was female. I also flew with a female capt on a C421 who could outfly anyone I knew at the time(hell, she even had me beat, but it was only my 2nd flight in the C421 ).

It's all mix and match, in the end there are 1000+ ways to get to the same end job/career, and in flying who knows what'll be.

PilotPip, I'm sorry one of my fellow graduates from "That school in Indiana" let you down. I'd like to think most of us coming from that program are fairly level headed, but there's always an exception to the rule.
