Despite advancements in gender equality, women remain significantly underrepresented in aviation, comprising less than 10% of pilots. Anecdotal evidence suggests that some view female pilots as having better landing skills, sparking discussions around gender stereotypes in flying. Other topics explored in the letters include comfort during lockdown, the complexities of shoe removal when visiting homes with pets, and encouraging environmentally conscious consumerism. The varied opinions reflect the diverse experiences and perspectives of readers, highlighting both humorous observations and serious societal issues.
In a wildly unscientific survey based on my holiday flights, my sweeping generalisation is that female pilots are preferable for their excellent landing skills, whereas men tend to just dump the plane on the runway with abandon.
I too abandoned wearing a bra during lockdown and quickly realized how much more comfortable I felt. Luckily, I don't require any under-propping in that area.
I know only a few people who ask their guests to remove their shoes when visiting, but each of them has a dog. What is the dog depositing on the floors?
How about #Don'tBuyIt, then you won't have to #TakeItBack, making recycling easier and eliminating waste at the source.
