“This is what happens when ATC misgenders a pilot.”
Not surprising. Same thing happens when they re-arrange standards to get women into the cockpit along with more blacks.
To your point. When I went through pilot training in the Air Force, I had to attend Flight Screening Officer Training Program in Hondo TX. I had never flow before and I had some air sickness issues. I got sick on my pre-solo flight (a big problem I was told). They brought me into the Flight CC office and he told me that my next flight was it. If I got sick, I’m out. Meanwhile, in my class, was a female who had been washed back three classes because she couldn’t fly. They gave her chance after chance, but me, just one. Needless to say, I made it and went on to a 32-year flying career. She, on the other hand, washed out of UPT. This was 1985.
so Bob, was it a woman pilot, or God forbide, a black?.....what is this world coming too.../s/
