The interview with the pilot was delayed because she was having trouble parking.

A spokesman for the airline said the cause of the delay was the result of the pilot trying to find a new pair of shoes that did not clash with her outfit.
"We want our pilots to look professional, and the shoes she had on were hideous and not approved. You think it is easy to find three inch mauve heels at the airport! "
Ya don’t diss the pilot for the same reason you don’t diss the bartender.
Not much joy at that joystick.
Hey, give the guy some credit; at least he didn't say anything bad about the landing!
Psychoanalyze this:
When it came to military planes, or commercial planes, if I found out the pilot was female, I’d claim sickness and get off the plane.
On the other hand, in the private world, I have had female flight instructors and have flown in private choppers with female friends. No problems there. Good pilots all. Some better than most.
Gremlins are FOR REAL. (I know, I’ve actually seen them and I wasn’t drunk or stoned!) And for the most part, Gremlins are female, and their jealousy knows no bounds.
Anyone who knows and believes in good and bad joss at altitude, knows Gremlins LIVE.
Superstitious? You best believe it.
Don’t waste your time telling me how effed up I am, I have beau coup hours in the air, and I’m still alive, all because I listen to the little voices in my head!
LOL, now, have at it!
As long as she had coffee made and the mid-flight snack cooked, I don’t see the problem with her flying the plane.
One of the best flights I’ve ever had was with a female pilot. Both the takeoff and landing were those you never noticed when the aircraft left or touched down on the runway.
Somebody was on the rag!
I bet she looked cute when she got mad.
” A Brazilian airline says one of its female pilots tossed a passenger off a flight because he was making sexist comments about women flying planes. “
Good thing he wasn’t a racist & a homophobe too!
As 20,000 hour airline captain that’s had many female co-pilots, I don’t think women (generally) are cut out to be good pilots. They handle training and normal operations ok, but under extreme duress in critical situations, they often panic and freeze up. It’s too PC for the FAA to look at, but skydiving stats are similar. Last numbers I saw, 10% of jumps were women, 50% of fatalities, and it was usually panic.
Please ping me to aviation and aerospace articles. Thank you.

He prolly made some comment about Amelia Earhart.
Additional details have emerged: reportedly the passenger expressed surprise seeing an ironing board on the deck of the jetliner.
If she was a confident pilot she would have laughed it off.
I am not sure I want to be on her flight with it being her time of the month...
I’ve talked to a few Airline Pilots here who say they reserve the right to throw ANYONE off a plane they are driving for any reason.
Drunks, rude to the help, ex wives, you name it.
Going to fly over to Okeechobee for breakfast in the morning.
It must have been “that time of the month!”
