A woman is flying on a jumbo-jet to Europe. After they get
up in the air the loudspeaker comes on: “This is your captain Emilia
Rodrigues. We are cruising at 35,000 feet .. etc. etc.
When the announcement is finished the woman passenger beckons to a
stewardess and asks, “Is it really true that this great big airplane is
being flown by a woman?
“Yes, says the stewardess, Captain Rodrigues is a woman.
“How wonderful! I am so excited! Do you think you can arrange for me to go
up to the cockpit to congratulate her?
“Yes, I think I can arrange that. You might also like to know that the
co-pilot is also a woman.
“Oh, how exciting. This is wonderful news! Please let me go to the cockpit
so I can congratulate them both!
“OK, you can do that. You might like to know that actually the entire crew
of this plane are women.
“That is the most exciting thing I have heard in a long time … this has
really made my day … I just have to go to the cockpit to express my
admiration!
“One more thing you might like to know … we don’t call it the cockpit
any more.
