Bomb the hell out of sexual harassment, Major.
“Boobs on the ground?” WTH? (Rolling my eyes) I’ve been in aviation now for eight years and I’ve been subject to sexual-harassment since I was a student pilot. People are still instinctually thinking that girls don’t fly and that flying is for boys – not all, but many. Though this is obviously not the case, it’s something that is still apparent in today’s America. The silver lining to this dark cloud is that that mentality is not very well accepted.
So what do I do when I’m being questioned about my abilities as a pilot because of my gender? I kill it with kindness and skill. I study harder. I fly more precise. I treat people with respect even when I’m not being treated with respect. I never speak ill of somebody even when they speak about me negatively. Respect is something that is earned and unfortunately as a woman in aviation I have to earn it sometimes double or triple times. But that’s okay if it changes people’s minds about women flying. And yes, I can fly and after I land my aircraft, I can park it just fine, Greg Gutfield. And as for you, Eric Bolling, apology accepted.
