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

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.
