American is behind other airlines with regards to female pilots, but my fiancé estimates it to be about 4% out of roughly 16,000 (Pre-Covid) so approximately 640.

Which is kind of funny because AA hired the first female captain/pilot (Beverly Bass I believe?)

Hell, in my line of work, even a junior would get fired if they treated a customer that way.
