The female pilot on the other forum said she was contacted by the CBC but because she said that she had never seen porn on the flight deck and had never felt harassed, her opinion was ignored. The CBC failed to mention that.

By the way, I just checked the other forum. Pilots are saying they haven't seen porn on the flight deck in years ("over 20 years").

I normally don't like to copy from other forums but here is a quote from someone I can only assume is a pilot:

"Never have seen it or heard about it at work other than the bulletin and news reports.

I think squeaky wheel is the case here...

I think we don't have enough information to say that its not a problem. With 3,000 (or so) AC pilots, and 150 of them (or so) being female, the Alpha male conditions for such an event to occur, are high.
