Dude, life’s too short to try and constantly be offended by stuff. Build an airplane, go fishing, take up golf. Do something.

Might also go a long way toward you actually seeing a real pair of “joker lips” one day, besides watching Batman.

Entirely possible. Hope so at least, can people really be this dense in this career still? (wait, don't answer that)

You deserved an infraction. Glad the mods were active here. I still can’t believe you wrote that in public.

No, actually I think I can. Keyboard anonymity creates all kinds of internet toughs and abhorrent trolls.

My response also got swept up with the cleanup. Let me reiterate, women and other minority groups can indeed fly airplanes. If they got hired over you it is because they are better pilots, or more likely because their attitudes better fit the organization than does yours.

Try being less focused on what “everyone else got” and more focused on what you can bring to the table. I promise you will be pleasantly surprised at the results.
