There are many more I'm certain you are aware. |

| 1479152 | 2021-08-08 04:55:00 | A couple of years ago I was flying Tauranga to Brisbane via Auckland and was waiting in a queue at Tauranga to board a little Dash 8, when two appropriately dressed young ladies climbed the steps and sat up the front of the plane. The wife was with me and I remarked “Holy C..p, two Sheila’s are flying the plane”. A chap in front heard me and advised “Well at least they don’t have to back it” which was of some comfort. I needn’t have worried, the flight was uneventful. :) |

Or maybe they just don't care to distinguish a career by gender. Could be worse: All German nouns are included in one of three grammatical genders: masculine, feminine or neuter. |
