I heard a radio interview when this happened and had she been a male aviator, she would have washed out of the air corp 7 times previous to the accident. Her life was lost, not to mention the aircraft and the carrier that was put in jeopardy, all for the sake of equalizing sexes.

Yes, you can put me in the detractors side of this idiocy...
