In the early 1970's my dad was performing a cross country flight when they stopped for dinner. After dinner we needed to go just a bit farther, but the sun had set. And there were no lights on this part of the ramp so dad was trying to perform the preflight with a tiny little pen light. They were next to a 727 and the 727 pilots turned on the landing lights which lit up the entire area, making the preflight inspection much easier. Once he got the engine going and the radio turned on he called the 727 to thank them for the light. When a female voice said, "you're welcome" he asked if it was Bonnie Tiburzi. It was! He'd been extremely pleased to read about Bonnie Tiburzi being hired by American Airlines in 1973 as the first female airline pilot. My dad was a flight instructor and he had many female students, some of whom went on to become airline pilots.
That's a great story. I haven't flown a great deal. Maybe only 50 times- but I never had a female pilot until 2022. I remember thinking about this episode when the Captain announced herself. Maybe I just need to get out more.
Females had to be much more talented than males back then to be the first pioneers of gender, but ever since it's been law to hire a percentage, the world has seen many underqualified ppl in important positions, so it's actually been turned upsidedown

@@kentcyclist I know, it's just so sad that it's gone as is only a memory. The old societal model was: A young woman would trade her youth and fertility exclusively to only one man, and he in turn would be the workhorse and take care of her when she gets past her prime. This was a great incentive for men to work, become men, and get married. You got a prize, a young beautiful loyal wife. In theory, as we know life isn't perfect. She does him a favor early on by being a virgin/exclusive and later he does her a favor by staying and supporting her instead of leaving her for a younger woman. They both get a prize. The new societal model is: Women whore around and waste their youth and fertility on Chad/Tyrone, get walled out, get STDs, lose their ability to pair bond, rapidly accelerate their aging process with excessive alcohol and fast food, and have no loyalty to any man. What sensible man would pay top dollar for something 30 other men got for free? The incentive for men is gone. You don't get a prize anymore. You get a parasite with an entitlement mentality that’s looking to take your resources and then some.

When she dies, the last living reminder of hell will be gone from the face of the earth. She has kids from Chad/Tyrone or both, personal credit card debt, no assets, school debt for a worthless degree in liberal arts or gender studies, no cooking skills and no desire to learn any, no fiscal responsibility, an overly banged vagina, and a pet you’ll be expected to take care of as well.

In addition, she also has great expectations you’ll do everything for her, make her feel better, and provide an unrealistic unsustainable life style she feels she deserves because she read about it some feminazi magazine article that hates men. All this while she cheats behind your back with the “bad boys” she really wants while you’re at work paying all the bills for this little parasite.

@Steve Tatum "I'm willing to go if you are!" is what she said. And note her return from shock and curiosity @2:08. She's good with it. She's just not sure anyone else will be since it wasn't common.
The answer to that is a little more simple that one might think. Other women didn't have skills, were not allowed to have skills, so how could SHE be a pilot if none of them felt secure enough to fly it themselves. People sit in the box they are put in. The same thing happened to slaves.
In 1982, I was working in a large engineering company and hired a woman engineer (the first one to work that company). As usual, the first day of work, I took her around the office to introduce her to the other coworkers. The first thing they said, even before I introduced her, was: " Hey, you hired a new secretary!!" Today, the president of that company is a woman.
You can always keep the manners going by leading by example. That is what I do and other people who have always used good manners will also follow and it will spread.
The stewardess at the end of this episode is precious. This segment was filmed 57 years ago so the stewardess would be in her early eighties by now (assuming she was 24 years old during this interview).
My dad, a farm boy, was stationed at Wright Field, Dayton, Ohio during World War II. He told a story about watching a new B-17 bomber land and taxi one day. He described it as confident, almost showy. The pilot dropped out of the cockpit door and peeled off the flight helmet. My dad was astonished to see her long blond hair tumble down! It sure made him think to see that female ferry pilot handle that bomber.
When I interviewed for a flight attendant position with American Airlines, I saw a lady pilot within a small group of male pilots. At that moment, I decided I wanted to fly the plane, not serve drinks. I have my multi-engine, commercial pilot's license.
It’s actually heartbreaking when they’re like “HAHAHA ITS A PRANK A WOMAN PILOT!?!? It’s funny because it’ll ***never happen***” Showing someone a glimpse of the future and then dashing it.
Emily Howell Warner (October 30, 1939 - July 3, 2020) was an American airline pilot and the first woman captain of a scheduled US airline in 1973 10 years after this gag.
The real first female pilot for American Airlines was Bonnie Tiburzi in the 1970's. It's nice that today women are plentiful in aviation all over the world. When people say, "most females are not pilots", they forget that most males are not pilots either. We are a very small group.
Women in WWII flew B17s and Lancasters and fighter planes and everything else on ferry flights. Russian women flew in combat. Seems strange that just 15 years later all that was forgotten.
*Raymonde de Laroche was a French baroness who learned to fly from Charles Voisin, a pioneering figure in aviation who built planes in the early 1900s. She received her pilot's license in 1910 and was the first woman in the world to do so. She went on to set the record for the highest altitude flown by a woman in 1919.*
eight inches yup, except that has nothing to do with the video. The video is about commercial piloting, and I just checked the description and you should too, it elaborates on what the video is (obviously) about lol
@ Intelligent.....I understand the mindset of that era, not many female commercial pilots, probably none at all. I was just commenting that even in those days ('60's?) there were many capable female pilots, even before the 60's.
Hilarious! The first guy says, "She asked what time it was", lol. I guess he was just happy she didn't ask for directions or which way was East. As a licensed pilot, I don't know a single pilot that isn't on the ball when it comes to preparedness, so I'd be inclined to spot the prank right off the bat. If a pilot is asking YOU questions, question your choice of getting into the aircraft with them.
Peoples perceptions are interesting to watch. So much is due to time, place and circumstances. My great grand mother was a pilot with the Air transport Auxiliary working for the RAF. The Americans had the Women Air Force Service Pilots. After WW2 the women were expected to help rebuild the shattered countries by having babies and not taking work from men. Societies are very malleable and the expectations change with the threats to them.
Amelia Earhart would've rolled over in her grave, at that kind of gender bias. My mother and Father were both certified pilots, no wonder I got my first certification at age 17 (that was the youngest you could be to be eligible for a pilot's license). While I don't have the resources to keep up my flight time, I can and do still fly, Its just that I do it in hang gliders and parasails.
My dream would be to be rich and have my wife and I take pilot classes, be able to purchase a private jet and fly with her (I'll let her have the left seat) anywhere we want. I think I trust a woman as my co pilot in a plane more than a man, to be honest. Men take too many risks.
The first female pilot for a US airline was actually in 1934, but she wasn't a captain. The next female pilot wasn't until 1973, and she became the first female captain in 1976.
by other women....If you notice all the men looked in awe but the lady said she was skeptical about telling others there's a female pilot.......Its the same today....feminists tell other women what jobs to do or not to do..........
Although I applaud women’s rights, what I do miss is the luxury of flying back then. Both men and woman dressed so nicely. And what is so wrong for a woman looking so beautiful and men so handsome? That’s what attracts you to someone in the beginning.
What men were handsome back then on planes? The stewardesses were beautiful for the male passengers. There wasn’t any eye candy for female passengers, definitely.
Bonanza Airlines out of Las Vegas, Nevada had a woman pilot flying there DC-3's late 1940 early 1950. also first male pilot that carried a pistol on board.
I'm sorry but in England over the 40 years I have been driving although I admit the "lunatics" are ALWAYS Men the standard of Male driving is vastly superior. Most drivers are competent but IF there is a problem with spacial awareness or parking or hesitation or changing their minds or slow driving then 99% it is a Woman responsible. Perfectly summed up yesterday by a friend when I pointed out his wife's car was badly damaged and he just smiled with a resigned look and said sarcastically "Driver Error!"...lol
Stephanie Baughman - progressed in some ways and gone backwards in many more. You’ve got a misogynist homophobic president and a weird cult called QANON taking foothold.
the US had at least one commercial female pilot in the 1930s: Helen Richie. Male pilots discriminated against her so hard that she ended up taking her own life, she was only 37 years old. It was until 1973 that women were able to be commercial pilots again in the USA. Now you know.

The real first female pilot for American Airlines was Bonnie Tiburzi in the 1970's. It's nice that today women are plentiful in aviation all over the world. When people say, "most females are not pilots", they forget that most males are not pilots either. We are a very small group.
Plentiful ??
98% of Airline Pilots in the World are male
I've been traveling for decades and never had a female pilot
Women in WWII flew B17s and Lancasters and fighter planes and everything else on ferry flights. Russian women flew in combat. Seems strange that just 15 years later all that was forgotten.
Yup, back to the kitchen!
@@sharonsolana And make me a sammich!
Emelia Ernhart.
I’m no longer surprised that people do not know history.
Why were Russian women so far ahead in opportunities? Cool!
*Raymonde de Laroche was a French baroness who learned to fly from Charles Voisin, a pioneering figure in aviation who built planes in the early 1900s. She received her pilot's license in 1910 and was the first woman in the world to do so. She went on to set the record for the highest altitude flown by a woman in 1919.*
Fannie Flagg the ultimate prankster
2:46 beautiful eyes
First thought. Bet she's gorgeous in colour.
Cute as a button.
Clone of Monica Lewinsky.
indeed, I initially thought it was Monica.
You would love them in colour then! (Australia here hence the spelling colour).
Who played the ticket agent? I've seen him in other episodes. He did such an outstanding job in his interactions with subjects.
That's Fannie Flagg (Fried Green Tomatoes) as the pilot. She wrote for the show, too.
The good old days
DON'T GET IN THAT PLANE!
He can see his life flashing before his eyes.
Monica Lewinsky at 2:00.
prettier than Lewsinski
I was thinking same thing
Haha. You're right! It would have to be! (Don't tell Bill, or he'll be out there trying to track HER down!).
I love Fanny Flagg!!
Look who brought down that plane safely in Philly when that engine blew! ! ! ! 4 /17/18.
MrEdwin57 you mean that woman named Sully?
And how would that be proof that women shouldn't be pilots?
@Jim Shoes You seriously don't know who that is? Here's a hint for you:What's the most you've ever lost on acoin toss? ^^
Love this one!!!!
How times have changed...
This is how most of us justifiably feel today!
THAT’S GOLD
Love it!!!!!
She was so relived when she found out it was a joke😂😂
Much, much less crashes back then
the good old days lol
If Fannie Flagg was flying the jet, that would end up being the "Party Wagon" of the century! C'mon let's go!
Flying would be easy but parking along side the skybridge would be difficult.
ha!
You have come a long way baby!
None of these people had ever heard of Amelia Erhart?
eight inches commercial pilot
Doesn't matter, a trained pilot is a trained pilot, male or female.
eight inches yup, except that has nothing to do with the video. The video is about commercial piloting, and I just checked the description and you should too, it elaborates on what the video is (obviously) about lol
@ Intelligent.....I understand the mindset of that era, not many female commercial pilots, probably none at all. I was just commenting that even in those days ('60's?) there were many capable female pilots, even before the 60's.
eight inches again, I’m not debating that. You just didn’t understand the context of the video and I explained it.
Women were also in astronaut training at this time!!! Women flew stateside during WWII
If this is 1963 I don't think they were in astronaut training
Hilarious! The first guy says, "She asked what time it was", lol. I guess he was just happy she didn't ask for directions or which way was East. As a licensed pilot, I don't know a single pilot that isn't on the ball when it comes to preparedness, so I'd be inclined to spot the prank right off the bat. If a pilot is asking YOU questions, question your choice of getting into the aircraft with them.
And to think , American girls are flying passenger jets and our latest fighter jets today .
Is that fannie flagg. As soon as i typed this question she said i am captain flagg
She was on Candid Camera many times back then. Before Match Game.
1:40 anyone else thinking Monica Lewinsky? 😂
Fannie Flagg - she was the most natural of all. Carried it off beautifully.
which one is she?
@@allieb7757 She is the 'first female pilot'. Went on to be a well known personality on TV and best selling author,.
Wow what a doll ...the last women ..
Peoples perceptions are interesting to watch. So much is due to time, place and circumstances. My great grand mother was a pilot with the Air transport Auxiliary working for the RAF. The Americans had the Women Air Force Service Pilots. After WW2 the women were expected to help rebuild the shattered countries by having babies and not taking work from men. Societies are very malleable and the expectations change with the threats to them.
Back then aeroplanes were simple enough for women to fly.
I am absolutely in love with the stewardess. 😊
Very pretty, but if you kissed her you'd likely get a mouthful of hair!
The pretty air hostess would be about 80 now if still alive..
then she is probably still flying...I fly with 80+ yr olds...
That's me mum
@@johnwilson5307 - is she still with us?
@@adrianjackson2696 yep
@@johnwilson5307 - She has a good sense of humour.
I still react this way.
Amelia Earhart would've rolled over in her grave, at that kind of gender bias. My mother and Father were both certified pilots, no wonder I got my first certification at age 17 (that was the youngest you could be to be eligible for a pilot's license). While I don't have the resources to keep up my flight time, I can and do still fly, Its just that I do it in hang gliders and parasails.
She probably wandered back into the galley to make a sandwich.
+V.E. hang gliding is super dope
well, Amelia did get lost. haha, it's a joke.
Uh... yeah... Amelia Earhart was not exactly a successful pilot. She got lost at sea.
My dream would be to be rich and have my wife and I take pilot classes, be able to purchase a private jet and fly with her (I'll let her have the left seat) anywhere we want. I think I trust a woman as my co pilot in a plane more than a man, to be honest. Men take too many risks.
The first female pilot for a US airline was actually in 1934, but she wasn't a captain. The next female pilot wasn't until 1973, and she became the first female captain in 1976.
Ah, those were the good old days when men and women dressed classy,
but they all stink of cigs and perfume
You had to be rich to fly then.
I could tell that woman had beautiful eyes
Yep, brilliant blue.
Loved it! And the reactions are so funny.
Can anyone tell me who the Candid Camera member was (who was behind the ticket counter)? He was great...in so many episodes.
Isn’t it weird how women were looked at back then?
Isn't it weird how they're still looked at today?
Well they should do a male kindergarten teacher.
Trump is The Man
by other women....If you notice all the men looked in awe but the lady said she was skeptical about telling others there's a female pilot.......Its the same today....feminists tell other women what jobs to do or not to do..........
AKR+ ROFL
Now there are female fighter pilots. You GO GIRLS! :)
At least it kept them off the highways.
Thanks. I needed the laugh!
I for one thought monica Lewinsky. We all have someone that looks like us. Very weird
What a beautiful woman.
Although I applaud women’s rights, what I do miss is the luxury of flying back then. Both men and woman dressed so nicely. And what is so wrong for a woman looking so beautiful and men so handsome? That’s what attracts you to someone in the beginning.
What men were handsome back then on planes? The stewardesses were beautiful for the male passengers. There wasn’t any eye candy for female passengers, definitely.
@@aslater5 back then there were no male stewards. Just pilots and copilot and usually another in a jump seat. But always in uniform.
Bonanza Airlines out of Las Vegas, Nevada had a woman pilot flying there DC-3's late 1940 early 1950. also first male pilot that carried a pistol on board.
Congratulations sir! That's your pilot.
That girl?!
Yes sir.
Male passenger laughs uncontrollably.
We've come a long way baby! 😏
It's seems like the most uncomfortable were the women, the man was just shocked but he even said it was fantastic! Worst enemy for women? Other women.
" I am willing to fly, if you are"!
That donut hat on the stewardess looks insanely comical.
Ohhh how far we have come.
It’s weird and sad that this was a joke at one time. My how far we’ve come
I'm sorry but in England over the 40 years I have been driving although I admit the "lunatics" are ALWAYS Men the standard of Male driving is vastly superior.
Most drivers are competent but IF there is a problem with spacial awareness or parking or hesitation or changing their minds or slow driving then 99% it is a Woman responsible. Perfectly summed up yesterday by a friend when I pointed out his wife's car was badly damaged and he just smiled with a resigned look and said sarcastically "Driver Error!"...lol

@@Algorhythmical You watch too much TV.
Some Soviet women were fighter pilots back in World War 2, and often engaged in dogfights with male enemy pilots.
We have come a long way since then.
Yup.. further into the depths of hell. No one to raise the children now except strangers and the TV and the results speak for themselves.
People don't even know what bathroom to use today.
Wow different mentality back then 🤣😂😀
We lived in real reality then and didn't pretend fake facts like today.
1:38 Does anyone know where she is now please?
People were so natural, funny and humble. ..I miss those days. .😕
And today we have drag queen storytime for children.
the US had at least one commercial female pilot in the 1930s: Helen Richie. Male pilots discriminated against her so hard that she ended up taking her own life, she was only 37 years old.
It was until 1973 that women were able to be commercial pilots again in the USA.
Now you know.
how times have changed.
only 55 years ago
only 3% of pilots worldwide are female.
That's why there's so many people in the world today.
True. I remember when it used to be only 11 O'Clock. Now look, it's almost 5 pm.
If only for the better.
