First all female crew from Windhoek to Frankfurt for Air Namibia

On a US domestic commercial flight recently, the entire crew was female. The captain, in her preflight announcement, welcomed the passengers to "our unmanned flight".

I think of this as positive reinforcement. Or sharing good news. I am a bra-burner from the 1960's. These things take a while.

Impressive. I believe Delta had an all female crew also. Our daughters and nieces can fly jets too.

Air Namibia is a tiny airline with only 10 aircraft. Two of these are A330, they service the Windhoek to Frankfurt run on 6 days per week. At present only one of their female captains is qualified on the A330, so it’s a lot harder for Air Namibia to have an all female crew than for Delta.

Isn't it just crazy that closing in on 2019, this is newsworthy.

Irish airline Aer Lingus has all-female crews for quite a while. Here is a short video of all-female crew on inaugural Aer Lingus flight from Dublin to LAx in 2016. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OPp3FVUtdTo . How great to see women having equal opportunity and being an example for the young children of today.

Since when did gender equality mean an all female crew? How is that equal?

If there are all-male crews, why can’t there be all-female crews?

In newspeak "euality" means the people who were previously in a minority completely replace the former majority.
