Finding a job is never an easy task for a commercial pilot. Not

have the added requirements of a sense of humor and the
proper attitude in order to be considered for selection for their
company. Southwest has the highest percentage of female
pilots of any airline in the country, but still have only a few in
comparison to the total number of pilots they employ. The

their already-serious deficits. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
