I know that female equality has come a long way for which all women should be eternally grateful. I can’t remember the last time I chained myself to a railing intentionally, although I have managed a few unintentionally. However there are some announcements that still put the fear of God in me. Like the one when the pilot comes on over the tanoy system.
“Good morning ladies and gentlemen this is your captain speaking”
Christ – she’s a woman. Can she reach the pedals and what time of the month is it? Clichéd yes, but I want a man straight out of Mills & Boon flying this thing. Testosterone enriched, suited and booted and gorgeously greying temples. That’s what pilots look like. I’ve seen the movies. If we crash I need to be carried out onto the wings by the Captain accompanied by a full orchestral movement.
I can imagine the announcement on crashing
‘Women and children first’ – Great! That means the female pilot would be at the head of the queue.
No way Hosé.
