Veteran. US Navy.
That is the story.
Not the pilot’s plumbing.
The name implies gender. One airline who had a female deck crew announced over the PA that this flight is an "un-maned" flight which brought on some concern by passengers.
Maybe she would prefer “pilotess”. Sounds a bit dated, just sayin’...
Somebody, somewhere, is always offended by something.
Who gives a sh#t what this offends this freaking female journalist. There’s no natural right to not be offended. DUH!
I agree.
The USAF prime rule for any emergency was:
“Maintain aircraft control
Analyze the situation and take proper action.
Land as soon as conditions permit.”
I am sure the Navy’s direction was essentially the same.
That pilot did what she was trained to do.
He or she had to in order to get the wings.
You said it.
Sometimes I don’t get women. This pilot is a hero. She broke ground with her military career and took it to a commercial career where she possibly saved many lives. To point out that she’s a woman only gives young women and girls growing up someone to emulate and model themselves after. Pointing out her gender recognizes her feats and firsts and memorializes it.
Frankly, my dear, nobody gives a damn.
The endless self-righteousness of these prigs compares most unfavorably to anyone, anywhere, who has to execute correctly under stress.

Aviatrix.
AMEN! These people who are constantly offended are very offensive to me.
True Fact.
A male pilot flies the plane from the cockpit. But not a female pilot. No sir.
She flies from the box office.
(Ba doom shish!)
If they hadn’t identified her as female, the grievance mongers would have complained that they were trying to avoid giving a woman her due.
Sir I’m sure you know.
Whenever women think we’re about to “get them”. They change the subject.
Sheesh.
There's the answer.
Is “male nurse” still ok?
Why do I believe the leftist freaks would STILL be reporting on our “female president” if the Fraud’s Felons had been successful?
Beverly sounds like the kind of person who has spent her whole life whining about everything (”The Gulfstream rep didn’t give me a brochure!!!”). Tammie Jo sounds like the kind of person who just gets on with life and directs her mental and emotional energy toward achieving her goals, and doesn’t spend a lot of time thinking about any naysayers.
