A Mumbai-bound flight was delayed by one-and-a-half hours at the Delhi airport Friday morning -- first by fog and then by a passenger who did not want to travel on a plane piloted by a woman.Passengers on board had a curious story to tell as to why Indigo flight 6E 179, supposed to depart at 8.10 a.m., could not take off before 9.40 a.m. A man apparently turned jittery after the customary flight announcement was made, giving the pilot's name - it was a woman. Are such man a taboo on Men-Community?

In this age he must must understand that nothign is or will be men dominated. The society is going towards a balanced state and a pilot has to take a lot of training before he or she can actually fly high with so many passengers. It is shameful on his part and he has let the men community down.

Women of today are equally intelligent nd capable as their male colleagues or friends. So the statement written doesn't have many takers.

Swapna you will always find exception and in this case it is an exception. It really do not appear that we are on 21st century.

However, very well said.

Yes, Yes, Yes...A Man who refuses to be on a plane piloted by a Woman,does not 'belong' in today's world...he is a 'Dinosaur'...In fact I have found from experience that Women Pilots are more safety-oriented and determined to prove their worth in a male-dominated world . Their Take-offs and landings are much smoother....Sushil Kumar.

Refuse to travel just bcos of ladies piolt is ridiculous, and statement the gentelmen given was too bad. but landing on nose gear (Capt. Parminder Kaur gulati of Indigo did it 3 times) is also not good for travelers (refer to News 26/27/28 Feb)

How does it matter who drives the aircraft? Do men drive an aircraft like a Rocket? If people remember, Valentina and Kalpana(Sorry No more) have driven spacecrafts and that too outside the earth. Aircrafts are driven inside the earth.Consideringthis I donot see any merits in continuing this debate whether one will sit in an aircraft driven by a woman or not? I was invited by Swapna to support her; my version is as above. I support Swapna in word to word whatever she has said.

Swapna I will support you partially. I fully agree that there is no difference in todays world between ladies and gents.

But in this case the commercial licence of this lady has been cancelled being forged. So whether a lady or a gent should not play with life of hundred in order to either earn or be in the world of Fancy.

its true that there should be no difference on gender basis. The issue came out due to one particular pilot who landed dangerously on two consequent occasion

it is not question whether men or women is piloting, it is the question of experience and ability of pilot.

Many argues for lady pilots but in confusion, they have supported "Yes" which should be actually "No".My experience,most of the lady pilots expert in smooth landing.

Nowadays there is no more any kinda difference, as many women are having more pay then men they are taking over the market very fast. So its not strange or to be worried with or without concerning who is flying the plane and watsoever

Why we should worry if a pilot is a woman, as we already accepted a risk when we are traveling by a plane, but not to accept woman as pilot is foolishness.

Its an absurd thinking! Plane crashes happen on failures of various factors and parameters, not because of the pilots. No agency would permit a novice to pilot a passenger aircraft without adequate flying experience and education!

I have already travelled in many planes which have been piloted by a lady pilot. Does it make a difference? They too undergo the same training as the male pilots. Where does the gender come here?
