This pilot used Twitter as her medium to express a disheartening accumulation of unrest and anger on her part, resulting from different levels of equally infuriating sexism from her passengers because she's a female pilot.

    Text - Charlotte Follow @pilotcharlotte Had such a lovely day flying with an crew. Baffled as to why 2 male pax felt that these comments were nescesarry. ' wont make any jokes about female drivers then' 'Are you the pilot? If I'd know that I wouldnt have got on' Fact is, I can fly an £80m jet, you can't.

    Text - Charlotte Follow @pilotcharlotte Being used to this kind of humour, my reaction of course was to be professional, laugh and ask them were enjoying the flight. It wasn't unit later when a cabin crew member they expressed her anger at the comment that it made me think. Why is this normal?

    Text - Charlotte Follow @pilotcharlotte It is this attitude that puts women off and another barrier stopping them from going into male dominated careers. It shouldn't even be a thing!!! I am a pilot he is a pilot. See, there is no difference #pilot

    Text - Charlotte Follow @pilotcharlotte I didn't get where I am today by listening to these kinds of comments. I'm not offended, l'm not disheartened. I'm saddened by the fact that this is the attitude some still have and think it is ok to make these comments to women.

    Text - Daniel Geaslen Follow @IndoBushPilot Read this. STOP doing this. Sexist comments about female pilots only show that you're stuck in the 1800s
