The Airline Industry’s Glass Ceiling Is Still Sky-High

Generally the ratio of woman pilots to male is low. The airlines hire by hours of multi turbine time to satisfy insurance companies minimum hours of multi turbine time. Many ex military pilots get into airlines having the required hours of turbine time. To get a high number of turbine time as a civilian they're a millionaire already so flying for an airline....well..... If a woman cares to go through the requirements to make it to army flight school and spend the years in the army life it takes to get the hours then that's nice.

Any effort to just push for female pilots because they are female and different is nuts. Airlines might be a little more risqué with required hours but I'd prefer an ex army pilot that knows anything can go wrong at any time and watches from start to finish for the unusual instead of it just being a job. If it's a woman with that training, great.
