My flight instructor when I got my twin rating was a very attractive female. When she was instructing, you did not even realize her attractiveness or the fact she was female. She was very professional. Southwest Airlines think so to, she is now one of their senior pilots.
“As long as it does not take great upper body strength or the ability to pack 100 lbs of gear across the desert on your back, let them serve anyplace they are needed.”
Intersting related coincidence: Yesterday I accompanied daughter and son-in-law to a neighborhood ‘harvest festival’ and the local cops showed up to engage in some community PR.
Now, with that image in your mind, let me tell you the real deal: Both ‘cops’ were drop-dead gorgeous, average-size blonds who could qualify for the good-looking female cop roles in a TV show. However, both were outfitted with all the gun/communications gear that all police-people wear and there was no doubt in my mind that they were fully qualified to use said gear and handle anything that might ‘go down’.
The times, they have changed...
As long as you can GUARANTEE upper body strength or endurance won’t be an issue, it won’t be an issue. I’d be interested to know how that guarantee works.
