Enviado
 
It's a career above the clouds, a sky full of opportunity. So America's female airline pilots have one question: Why aren't there more of us? "There have been women airline pilots for decades. But it is not a warm and fuzzy profession," says Karen Guadagni, 49, of St. Joseph, who is a captain for ExpressJet on flights for United and Delta airlines.

Well I sure as heck don't want Hillary! The problem today is people have a hard time separating a comment thrown out as a joke, and get their bowels in an uproar.

Except that most jokes are female-negative. Just because you don't like Hillary doesn't mean there's not a better female candidate out there.
I take it Hai Zhu isn't even in an aviation field to make such an ignorant comment like that. It's proven that women pay more attention to detail and in the rotary wing world, more often than not a woman has better control touch than a man. Of course, there are exceptions to every situation (not saying women are better overall).
These jokes are not funny in any context.
