Pilot arrested in Sweden for DUI
 

News in Sweden posted that a female US pilot was arrested today when she blew positive on an alcohol test just prior to.departure.
Sweden does not have many flights to the US and it’s actually only DL from ARN-JFK is showing cancelled for today.

why is it relevant that the pilot is female? would you have written “male pilot” in another case?

I really hope the pilot, regardless of their gender, gets the help the need.

why is it relevant for you to call out that the poster wrote Female? Would you have called the poster out had they wrote male?

They certainly highlight the crap out of anything remotely positive about female pilots, or anything they think they can spin into a positive. Since that's the ecosystem they (airline industry, not women pilots) have created, are we really surprised about the lexicon?

No one has published that she was a female. The only people who know are the ones that looked up see who it was. It's completely irrelevant what gender the person is. But clearly an ax to grind against women in aviation

who is they? and be careful, a mod might think you’re stoking political narratives here

it’s relevant to call it out precisely because it would not have been mentioned if it were a male pilot (which it has been, many times without such labeling)

I paraphrased the news article. It literally states that the pilot was female.

“Kvinnan sitter nu anhållen för flygfylleri, enligt Aftonbladets uppgifter”

translates to, the woman is now arrested for DUI
