Yeah, I saw that survey too. Looks like there isn't lots of females interested in aviation. It's pretty rare to find a female captain for a major
airline. I think there are only 5000 females working for major airlines in the US.

The best captain that I have ever been flown by was a woman. We flew from KJFK to Shannon Ireland (forget the code) in an A330. I swear, her landing
was less that 50 fpm.

There are probably a lot interested in aviation, just maybe not simming.
When I was listening to live ATC I heard quite a few females both ATC, and pilots
