Passenger’s Sexist Note Left on WestJet Flight Stirs Pilot’s Heated Response
"The cockpit of an airliner is no place for a woman."

"I wish WestJet could tell me a fair lady is at the helm, so I can book another flight!"

Comments left on a napkin aboard a YYC->YYJ WestJet flight prompted the captain of the flight herself to respond. Carrie Steacy, a pilot of 17 years, was "shocked" when she was informed of the napkin message.

As a woman, I am less "shocked" and more annoyed. What century are we currently living in?
