WAI Panel Highlights Need To Encourage Female Pilots
Boeings Jacqueline Davidson told a WAI conference session that scheduling, preconceived ideas, and lack of exposure keep down female pilot numbers.

Females make up a mere 5.18 percent of the pilot population, but efforts can be made to increase that number in years to come, said Jacqueline Davidson, a Boeing investing analyst. “When was the last time you saw a female pilot in your passenger journey?” Davidson asked during a session on “Pilot Talent Diversity: Minority Barriers Hindering the Majority” at the 2021 International Women in Aviation Conference.
