I think they have very few female pilots, but yes they wear a skirt, from my experience with Portugal I suspect it has to do with its conservative mentality: << women don`t wear pants! >>
but they do have an other uniform that is used when flying into many of their Northern African destinations.

In many places outside North America, Flight attendants pay for their training, just like pilots they need a "a flight crew certificate" before they can apply for the job. Usually Aviation schools offer courses linked to airline training facilities or have their own which is approved by the airlines they work with, you pay everything from your medical to the uniforms used while in training. Once the airline picks you up you just do indoctrination training, but the rest of the training is all contracted out and you pay for it before you are even sure you will get hired.

Damn man, he orders one foo-foo drink in mixed company and he's branded for life!
It wouldn't have been a big deal, but he was the ONLY one that didn't have beer, and then made a pretty strong effort to defend his cactus drink when called out on it. I'll give him credit though, it is a good drink.

10 years? I'm pretty sure that's now. Masculinity is increasingly evil in public opinion.
I'm not sure if I buy that.
But I define being a man as being a man and indifference if anyone attempts to give you slack for it.
It also depends on how you define masculinity. I'm of the school of thought that it's not fretting the small things, knowing the difference between the time to "rise to the occasion" and when you're being a "drama queen", when it's time to put your foot down and when it's time to brush something off. I know when I get angry, I want to kill things, so being a man, for me, is about knowing this and not letting myself get to that point.

Last I checked Canada was in North America. We've almost put the PFJ genie back in the bottle. I want to go kick a puppy or club a seal when I see it coming out of the bottle again.

Public opinion? What?
I live in the SF Bay Area, which by all rights is the most PC, sensitive and easily offended community in the country. But I don't get that anti-masculinity vibe at all. Hell, I drive a gas guzzling sports car with a Steelers decal on the back and I don't even catch the tiniest bit of flak for that around these parts.
My point is that it sounds like you've skewed your perspective to be a victim because people maybe don't like your jokes about women making you sammiches. dunno.

I know, but I wasn`t including that Air Canada Branch as being part of the norm for North America, where usually you don`t pay for training, but it`s a pretty common thing outside North America.
