How would you feel if you boarded a plane only to discover the pilot was a women?

Question

I am very surprised by most of the answers. I thought that most men would be frightened to death after all they don't think we can drive even though we took the same test as them

Answer 1

if shes qualified to be sitting in the pilots seat then why would anybody have a problem with a woman pilot?

Answer 2

Just great. The same way i do when the pilot is a man. I love to fly.

Answer 3

Id be fine, if they fly the same way they drive, thats just great!

Answer 4

as long as the pilot has a licence, i have to say i was going to write a joke answer because i thought your were taking the piddle, but i see your not? I'm surprised you would think that would be a problem for people? i would say being female she has tried harder to get where she is because of the gender issue, i would say she would be extra alert because she worked so hard to become a pilot.

Answer 5

i would be absolutely fine with that.  Women are just as capable of doing any job a man can do.

Answer 6

What an odd question, there are lots of qualified female pilots flying everything from supersonic military jets to civilian heavy transports. I am not bothered in the least by the gender of the crew. My only concern is that they had a good nights sleep and are totally into this flight.

Answer 7

cool thats ill tell you just  excityed about the flight haha actually nothing much since here in the philippines we already got few number of Woman pilots serving in Airlines :) and of course in Air Force too

Answer 8

Wouldn't bother me.

Answer 9

I would feel just as safe as if it were a man piloting the plane

Now a dog... or ..... terrorist....thats a dif story...

Answer 10

It wouldn't matter a bit to me . I would expect that she passed all the necessary tests . No great strength is needed any more , because it's all power operated .

Answer 11

No problem at all, they went thru the same rigorous training as the guy in the right seat.

Answer 12

I wouldn't care, why should I?

Answer 13

PANIC

Answer 14

Not a problem!

Answer 15

halleluya!!!!!!!!

Answer 16

You know, I had this conversation at work a few weeks ago, and I ashamedly said I would panic a wee bit because I would wonder if she was able to do the job properly

I know this is disgraceful coming from a women but it's just because we are so used to being flown by men.

And psychologically the mind is trained to think that any huge machine should be controlled by a man.

My apologies to any woman pilots

Answer 17

not a problem so long as she dosnt have to parellel park it

Answer 18

ur sexist

much?

Answer 19

I have flown on flights where either the Captain or the First Officer were female. Since I'm still alive, they must have done a good job.

Answer 20

It wouldn't make any difference,if the person has the job they have earned it

Answer 21

I would think 'you go girl!' and enjoy my flight safe in the comfort a woman was in control on the flight deck.

Answer 22

Why should it bother me?

Answer 23

I've already flown three times where the pilot was a woman and I don't have a problem with it.

Answer 24

ask if theyve got any spare parachutes lol

Answer 25

Been there done that,When we landed a great cheer erupted.She came out and curtsied.

Answer 26

Have boarded many planes and the pilot happened to be female, i feel the same way when i board a bus and the driver is female....if she's qualified then fine, just as if the driver is male and qualified, fine.

Answer 27

As long as she was qualified I would feel fine.  I was a driving instructor for some years and found that there were three types of female drivers: the good, the bad and the ugly!  It's probably the same with pilots :)

Answer 28

The only problem I would have is that I don't know what 'a women' is.

Answer 29

just the same i would feel if the pilot was a man. there's no difference in skill. they both went through the same training and everything.

Answer 30

It wouldn't bother me to the least.

Answer 31

just dont let her fly when she on the rag and dont let her reverse. otherwise i would feel ok
