Was it? The Navy had problems earlier with female pilots wrecking tomcats.

Between 1970 and 1995, the year before the first female F-14 pilot joined the fleet, approximately 120 Tomcats were lost. So if none of those loses were due to female pilots then why were all those men wrecking Tomcats?

I just remember reading about how the Navy lowered the standards and that the first female pilots got away with mistakes that would have gotten a male pilot canned.
