I understand that there was such a flight not long ago, and the captain raised a few eyebrows when she welcomed the passengers on the airline's "unmanned" flight. After the announcement sunk in, there were many smiles all around on a very pleasant flight.
From the back of the plane - don't care what they are as long as they are trained, experienced and QUALIFIED. When WHAT is more important than QUALIFIED (AA heading down this road) I ride on the ground.
I didn't know women and minorities had to be coddled
I guess they are less than!

Did you read the piece? My personal guess is that my accomplished daughter is at least thrice as able as you.
I agree, so what? Gender,race, sexual orientation none of it matters except to those who want to impose social reforms. The only thing that matters is that the crew member is qualified and can do their job.
The more you sensationalize the all-female this, or the all black that; the more you propagate the false stereotype and patronizing subtext, suggesting that this gender, or that race is generally regarded as inferior in these (fill in the blank) areas, SUCH THAT it's truly remarkable that "X-gender" or "X-race" can even do this, or that at all!! That simply isn't true, so c'mon, get over it! Women CAN fly airplanes folks - and do it quite well! And surprise, surprise, they can do other things well too! We need to stop the ridiculous ticker tape parade every time a woman, a black,(or Eskimo for crissakes!) does something that is hardly beyond their talent or abilities! In this age, women crewing aircraft should seem ordinary, not extraordinary. Save the giddy, overly exuberant praise for the 2 year old who poops in the toilet for the 1st time.
