Note left for female pilot: Cockpit 'no place for a woman'

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.”

Every so often jerks like these pops up to try to make a point. Bottom line is if he doesn’t like women in commanding roles he should have been born by his father.

Sounds like a liberal woman wrote the note to get attention.

Remember when the lesbian cut 'hate messages' into her own skin then blamed 'conservative white men'? Or the radical leftist college woman who wrote herself hate letters threatening rape? Or the fake KKK stuff at what.. Oberlin?

It's news because liberals love the idea that one of the pet grievance groups is actually a victim.

The guy who killed Matthew Sheppard? A former lover of his... (also blamed on conservatives. Maybe one of the Hollywood liars will make a movie about this...

57.9% of Canadian women are working as of 2012.
http://www4.hrsdc.gc.ca/.3ndic.1t.4r@-eng.jsp?iid=13

Combine that with the abortion rate of 31 for every 100 births
http://www.med.uottawa.ca/sim/data/Abortion_e.htm
and you get fertility rate on par with some European countries.
http://epp.eurostat.ec.europa.eu/statistics_explained/index.php?title=File:Total_fertility_rate,_1960-2011_%28live_births_per_woman%29.png&filetimestamp=20130129121040
As of 2011 Hungary had a fertility rate of 1.23.

Western(ized) women are too busy with their careers and large amounts of leisure time plus having abortions to justify having children.

Proverbs 31:16-18 (NLT) 16 She goes to inspect a field and buys it; with her earnings she plants a vineyard. 17 She is energetic and strong, a hard worker. 18 She makes sure her dealings are profitable; her lamp burns late into the night.

Could be a hard working woman pilot in our time...

I smell BS too. Here’s the “tell:” If a picture of the napkin appears on Facebook or Reddit. Then we’ll know it’s a hoax.

If this is real, he needs to suck it up and get over himself. I've flown commercially where the pilot was a woman -- guess what. No difference. I've also flown privately with women pilots -- guess what. No difference. AND, for that matter, two of my best flight instructors were women.

I suppose this butthead wouldn't ride in a taxicab driven by a woman, either.

I looked at the article. She posted it on her Facebook. It’s a hoax. Done deal, I’m 100% sure now.

QED.

Secondly he’s probably a Muslim.

More likely the author of the note was an Arab. He may also have been muslim, but this attitude spells out ARAB.
