I thought this was settled at least 75 years ago.
Note left for female pilot: Cockpit ‘no place for a woman’

“The cockpit of an airliner is no place for a woman,” began the note scrawled on a napkin and left behind by a passenger on a recent WestJet flight from Calgary to Victoria, B.C.

“Were (sic) short mothers, not pilots” continued the note, signed by “David,” and also referenced a biblical verse. The passenger wrote he wished the airline would tell him when “a fair lady is at the helm” so he can be sure to “book another flight.”

The plane’s pilot, Carey Steacy, shared the note on her Facebook page with a response that said, in part, “I have heard many comments from people throughout my 17 year career as a pilot. Most of them positive… You were more than welcome to deplane when you heard I was a ‘fair lady.’”
