Why are you guys picking on female aircrew members?? I'd like to remind you that a year or so ago, an all-female crew of Air Force Reservists took a C-141 transport on a routine week-long round-robin of European bases, all by themselves, with no male aircrew. This fete was written up in almost every military journal, and I'm sure it made the local newspapers. If the Air Force can trust women with C-141's, there's no reason why TWA can't trust them with 747's. --Don Black

Good grief! Let's not start a flap over women aircrews. Women have been flying planes nearly as long as men. I suspect that they got started soon after the Wright brothers. There were substantial numbers of women flying planes during WWII. They ferried all sorts of aircraft from here to the European theater during that altercation. I have no problem at all with women pilots, in fact, I suspect they would do a better job. T. C. Wheeler
