Mike, thanx for a fairly neutral response.
My assumption that we've progressed much in the realm of gender equality was obviously in error. I thought that, by now, we've moved on to face larger, more important issues. There's a blatantly racist remark on a popular thread here on RCU, and not one of the hundreds of viewers has said one word in protest or outrage. In the same vein, I find it odd that those so bothered by by what is, at worst, a non-PC comment, say nothing about an incident that was very nearly a tragedy. I really don't care if it was a woman, and my remark was just a flip response. I doubt anything I say on this toy airplane site changes anyone's attitude, prejudices or world view.
As to pucker factor, if you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen. Man, woman, purple people-eater, it was a mistake having that person at the controls. Mistakes get made, sure, but this was so unnecessary: good weather, airplane working fine, no glare, distractions or traffic. And the error wasn't minor, it was glaring. The problem wasn't the woman, it was the pilot, and the sooner everyone realizes that, the sooner it will come into perspective.
Flame suit still on, not warm yet.
