What about skilled trades? Long lines at WIH? (Women In Hangers… ok, sarcasm-off), construction sites?, auto repair?, plumbing?, electrical...?

OK, maybe not ‘dirty’ blue-collar, how about white collar? Engineering? Hmmm, Only 13% of engineers are women. Hmmm, Wonder why. Certainly not because women aren’t smart enough as over half of medical and law school graduates in the US are now women (fact).

any chance women are simply not attracted to the idea of becoming an airline pilot? If today’s girls don’t see women populating flight decks, they’re just not looking. Southwest woman, former Navy “ace” saves the day after engine explodes, Female Thunderbird pilots, fighter pilots, etc. Unlike women of previous generations, the information and opportunities are vastly different for this generation.

Isn’t it more likely most are simply not interested? Sadly, there aren’t studies or statistics available for girls that were “encouraged“ to pursue aviation, then become discouraged, dropped out, or stayed, hated the lifestyle and became career FOs to avoid crappy schedules.

The pilot profession looks great in movies and brochures. Most reading this know it can be very tough (Health, families, furloughs, lifestyle, cost, income), and the ones that make it to the big leagues are the ones that wanted it so badly they were willing to endure the pain it took to get there. The rest fall off by the wayside somewhere along the way, or are miserable their entire careers.

it’s not always a good idea to ‘encourage’ people to pursue this lifestyle if they’re not inclined already. Better to let nature take it’s course, and allow those with the drive and passion to do the research (mouse click), to apply. The information and role models are there, if they’re not looking, they’re probably not interested.

Thanks for the reply, Jurgen. The fact that you read my response as “triggered“ says more about you than you might think. That again, you resorted to a stereotype is evidence of your struggle (had to look up “zero hedge“). Assigning people to convenient stereotypes based on categories (age, sex, ethnicity, etc.) is the purest definition of prejudice. It’s not only unfair to those labeled, it’s often wildly inaccurate. You would do your health a favor by becoming a little more open minded, and a little less angry.

“Prejudice is a term used to refer to a preconceived (usually unfavourable) evaluation or classification of another person based on that person's perceived political affiliation, sex, gender, beliefs, values, social class, age, disability, religion, sexuality, race, ethnicity, language, nationality, complexion, beauty, height, occupation, wealth, education, criminality, sport-team affiliation, music tastes or other personal characteristics.”

Well, I see it this way...
What happened on January 6, 2021 was a result of
The well PRIVILEGED, and ENTITLED, expectation fading away. It has never been about race and gender. It has always about wealth and power. Those who have it, will do everything they can to keep it.

ALL OF IT....

You already posted this verbatim on another thread that, like this one, was not about Jan 6th.

Interesting. I thought the perpetrators of January 6th were white nationalist, white supremacist, window licking, knuckle dragging, ignorant, uneducated, old, white men that were also bigoted, racist, rednecks.

I really had no idea such stupid,
Neanderthal-like people wielded so much power and wealth

Attend any book burning rallies lately?

So, because you object with the content you demand the conversation end? What are you afraid of? Don’t like it, stop reading.

Do you often speak for others? Determine what is acceptable? ...use racist terms while censuring those you deem racist?

Well that’s because you are brainwashed and indoctrinated, no more or less than the perpetrators of Jan 6th. Full of hate towards “others”, nice job! You are no better than those you hate. Hate begets more hate, and racism begets more racism and you are contributing to the downward spiral.

And your avatar is sexist and misogynistic!...it...uh...objectifies women!

I’m triggered. (Not really)

I find his profile name very sexually suggestive and inappropriate!

Very unkind of you attempting to make a SJW liberal’s head explode confronting them with reality. On a weekend too. Not very nice!
