I have a daughter that wants to be a pilot. She is still young, but well on her way to getting all the training. It'll be a decade until she can work for the airlines though. Hopefully by then, the DEI stuff will be gone. She will be completely trained and safe, I'm sure, however I would hate to have her go through her career always wondering if she was the token woman. She wants to earn her positions too, not have them handed to her. I promise, if she flies you in 10 or 15 years, you can be assured she is a good pilot! We are putting a lot of our finances, time and energy into assuring she is!!!
She should pre-think every emergency, including highly unusual ones. Think it, do it. Think it, say it. No pause, no second guessing. Typical female pilot problems: decision making, second guessing, interactions between aircraft malfunctions and forgetting about everyone else in the air. Train that out of her in everyday life. I had two women almost kill me in pilot training. Another problem is with the instructors that pass a female when they shouldn’t. Maintenance and death to follow.
HA! Makes me laugh because she loves to watch those investigation shows into how and why planes crashed. She also is going to take 3 years of aircraft maintenance before she graduates high school (homeschool for the win!), because even if she isn't an aircraft mechanic, she will be able to look at the plane after it's been worked on to make sure it's been done right.. I will save the problems you listed and share it with her, to make sure we work to overcome any of them! Thank you for sharing!
That is brilliant.!! And when she does start flying: conflicts will usually come from 45 degrees left or right. And most of all: relax and enjoy. When she eventually goes for an airline interview, be nice to everyone: the driver, the secretary, everyone. They are all evaluating her, because nobody wants to fly hours and hours with a jerk.
Being a good pilot starts with wanting to be a good pilot. Your daughter should be a great one.
