Are you saying that a woman cannot be a good pilot. I certainly don’t agree with DEI. I agree more with meritocracy. If this woman is qualified to be a pilot absent DEI, then that puts another spin on it. Trump probably jumped the gun on that until an investigation had been done.

If there was a DEI problem, it sounds like it was at the FAA and and their hiring practices not on the female pilot.

Sure. If she gets the same training, and has the same experience of a man pilot, instead of being hired ahead of men with more experience, just to fill a quota.

“Are you saying that a woman cannot be a good pilot. “

They can, but it’s well demonstrated that their spatial perception and understanding is not as quite good as males.
That is exactly what came into play here.

Women can of course, just as a man could be an Ob/Gyn nurse. But both would be like a dog walking on it’s hind legs. Unnatural looking and never really done that well.

Horses for courses.
