    Hi Kathy,

    You raise an interesting point that I don't think has been considered by aviation legislature, but currently, so long as a woman passes the medical requirements I don't believe there is any other legal requirements which would not permit her from flying, based solely on her sex.

    yes. The co-pilot must always be male or at least a very butch woman.

    Yeah my sister had to do this, after a few years her adam's apple became quite prominent but she said it's worth it to fly.

    OK Kathy, enough is enough. You have two choices - 1) start posting properly or I'll siteban you for trolling; or 2) go back to facebook.

    That's not very aerodynamic. Did she have any other problems 'arise'?

    They can be pilots but they are not allowed work during their period or the 3 weeks leading up to their period.
