I am now typing with my 10' pole, because that's as close as I need to be to this one.
However, somewhere in the mix (not related to glass ceilings) is a percentage of female vs. male flyers (frequent or not). That percentage is/has been predominantly male. It is now becoming more balanced and I think we will find that, in the very near future, more of those FC upgrade seats will be occupied by females (Marvella excluded).

Take a close look at the people here on FT, of the ones we can gender identify, most are of the male gender. Could that be because there are more male gender flyers? Or, is it because female genders just do not post to any kind of bulletin board? I believe the answer is that there are more male flyers, and therefore more airplane seats are occupied by males than females. My statistical sample has a plus or minus 4.2% error.
