In general I would agree that the huge majority of Flyer Talkers are male, however, I sometimes make the mistake of assuming someone is a male and then have the happy occasion to discover that they are in fact female. For a long time I assumed SanDiego1k was a male but I do not know why.

I was on a recent flight, however, that was very unusual and interesting. The first-class FA first asked me for my meal choice and then proceeded to ask the remaining 4 women in first for their meal choice. What is this, thought I, a new policy called "Ladies First"?

When I checked the manifest on my way to the lavatory I discovered that all five 1ks in the first class cabin were indeed women. The times they are a changin.
