Soryy, are we comparing the size of the wings on our dicks? I'm a commercial pilot with over 9,000 hrs. I'm on my lunch break before I fly 2 more.
Just in the case of historic firsts, Bert Hinkley, Charles Lindbergh, the 33 crewmembers of the R34, John Alcock, Arthur Brown, and the six crewmembers of NC4 all crossed the Atlantic before Earhart.
Amelia Earhart was a pioneer of aviation, but it's important to remember she was only "first solo across the Atlantic* " with an asterisk. Ignore her vagina and she is as historic as the second team on Everest. Do you know their names?

Do you shit on other women pilots that you work with?
Because that's " REAL COOL " bro.

LOL
I've never had a woman pilot as a coworker.
I've seen a few. Had an instructor once. They seemed ok.
I think we have one or two women pilots at another base, but I've never met them.
If you think I'm shitting on Earhart by pointing out the arbitrariness of her "first" title, I don't know what to say!
I notice you had no response for how many hours you have. Maybe you don't have much to say, either!
It's fine, this is such a small community I've probably met you. Let's all just chill out and have a beer tonight, yeah?
