Maybe I'm opening a can of worms with this so my apologies in advance....
Why is it crammed down our throat this is a female? Replace every time they say female with the word male and it sounds egotistical and asinine. Why should it matter? She and her passenger survived a harrowing experience to fly another day and she didn't kill anyone on the ground. Who cares the gender of the pilot?
All that aside, great job to her. I just don't understand the tone of the article

From wikipedia:
The Daily Mail was Britain's first daily newspaper aimed at the newly literate "lower-middle class market resulting from mass education, combining a low retail price with plenty of competitions, prizes and promotional gimmicks", and the first British paper to sell a million copies a day. It was, from the outset, a newspaper for women, being the first to provide features especially for them,and is the only British newspaper whose readership is more than 50 percent female, at 53 percent.

So, they are probably using it a bit in a "celebratory" role, but there is no nuance and it comes across as stilted.

Cardio, not worked up. A simple response and reference you quoted will suffice. Thanks though.
