[net.aviation] The Flying [sexist] Engineers

ark (02/18/83)

I recently received a leaflet for an organization called
"Flying Engineers International".  Among the blanks on their
membership application form were one for "Wifes name" [sic].

Yes it is a shame that some organizations are run by people just trying
get others of like mind together for fun or whatever, and are not really
proficient at putting together the literature they probably have to
run off on hand cranked mimeograph device due to the fact that they
put the organization together with funds from thier own pocket and
operate out of a back bedroom and a post office box.

However, even if they are INTENTIONALLY sexist, would you please
post thier address to the net?

As a flying engineer, I have never heard of this group before, and
would like to inquire to them as to thier purpose and nature.

They may be a great bunch of people for all we really know, you
can't judge a book by its you know.
