Female Pilot Receives Ridiculously Sexist Note from Passenger

Published on

WestJet Airlines pilot Carey Steacy, mother of two and pilot for 17 years, received an insanely sexist note from a passenger — “David” in seat 12E — telling her that ‘the cockpit of an airliner is no place for a woman.”  Oh yes, he did.  Check it out for yourself (along with my suggested response):

“FAIR LADY!”

P.S.  Without fair ladies-turned-Women Airforce Service Pilots, aircraft would not have gotten to airfields from the factories in WWII.  Good day, sir.
