Gone are the days of flight attendants in miniskirts, but sexism in still alive and well in the the airline industry - as evidenced by a note a passenger left to his female pilot on a flight this weekend in Canada. WestJet Airlines pilot Carey Steacy had just wrapped up a flight from Victoria to Calgary when cleaning crews brought her a note, written on a napkin, left behind by one of the passengers. The note, written by a 'David' and left at seat 12 E, tells Steacy that 'the cockpit of an airliner is no place for a woman.
