It turns out that some still aren't ready for women to fly planes, as a sexist note left by a passenger for the female pilot of his flight revealed.
“The cockpit of an airliner is no place for a woman,” began the note scrawled on a napkin and left behind by a passenger on a recent WestJet flight from Calgary to Victoria, B.C.
“Were (sic) short mothers, not pilots” continued the note, signed by "David," and also referenced a biblical verse. The passenger wrote he wished the airline would tell him when “a fair lady is at the helm” so he can be sure to “book another flight.”

I’d have blown my nose on it and tossed it.
Me too.
BS. What “biblical verse’ demeaning women? Maybe this faker meant islamic verse.
This is NEWS?????
Maybe he did. That’s why he’s worried.
Well they’re no longer called cockpits - they’re flight decks. There are no more stewardesses but cabin attendants or flight attendants. There are no more pilots but PIC’s (which is the flying pilot or pilot in command which can be the FO) neither are there co-pilots - they’re first officers. The guy who wrote that is a schmuck who probably flew right after the Wright brothers. Secondly he’s probably a Muslim.
Well, if they are as bad at flying as they are at parallel parking, then the guy might have a point.
I agree..........
saying “cockpit” to a female is sexual harassment.
I think the word ing is the key...and that’s why I agree...It’s bs.
I thought the female pilot should have reminded this jerk that if women are piloting the plane, then its not called the cockpit, but the box office.
