I’m sure you’ll be saying the same thing about a bad landing that your female captain had when you’re the first officer. All I can say is, it isn’t as easy as it looks.
As for the fast taxi, the spoilers on the EMB-145 deploy with any wheel speed above 25 knots and we get a Spoiler Lever Disagree Master Caution up front. I would caution making any judgement on altitude/speed/rate when your sitting in the back. You just can’t tell.
Sexist comment????? Rubbish!
First of all the main reason why airlines and even Air Forces avoid women pilots is due to there personal reasons, pregnency etc. All this results in a big amount of off days.
Second it CAN be unhealthy for women to take the pressures of flying. It has been medicaly proven that G forces donot co-operate well with a womens functional system.
Third, even if women join as pilots they tend to leave (in most cases) after marriage, pregnancy etc.
So seeing all these factors, to me atleast reason is clear why aiirliens and air forces avoid female pilots. They cant keep on looking for replacements.
