Women Freight Pilots

[FoxyWhiskey]

Are there any on this board?
Guys- How common and do they exist?
With the odd hours, and mostly at night, would you say a female pilot would feel safe? A lot of descriptions of FBO's at night on here pretty much say otherwise, but curious to know.

Thanks.

We have around 7 or 8 now at Airnet. They all seem to be enjoying it.

As of August 2005, when I was at Evergreen, there were two flight crew ladies. One FO and the other an FE (747 of course).

I've been a freight broad for flight express for just over a year now. So far, I haven't had any problems with loading during the wee hours, and have never felt unsafe. Also, flying those odd hours, if you purr sweetly enough into the mic, ATC will give you clearance to the moon!

My classmate from my 1st airline job is now a captain/instructor at Atlas. Everyone has their share. Give it a try...

Btw - Scenic is not spelled sceninc

Good luck - Baja.

USA Jet has hired about 15 over the year I have been here. They don't seem to last very long, get some jet time and move on. We have too women on-demand cargo pilots right now. One on the DA-20 and one on the DC-9

Redding Aero just hired its second female pilot in 16 years.

We're almost in the 20th Century!
