While only 5% of the pilots are women, flight attendants receive basic training for emergency situations, such as when the pilot is incapacitated. I wouldn’t be surprised if a lot of them could actually land a plane in a life-and-death situation, or at least find a passenger who can.
With buses the picture is a bit brighter. If I had to guess, 20% of the bus drivers around the world are female? And a missing driver doesn’t automatically spells your death - the bus might be going slow due to traffic, and a lot of people are able to at least step on a brake.
Flight attendants won’t be landing anything without flight controllers. Especially in busy airports like Heathrow. Even if you leave men pilots in place and only remove men traffic controllers, all the planes will crash.
Also, if you have a driver’s license, you probably know enough to safely stop a bus even if your license is for personal vehicles only. And while I don’t know the numbers, I’m pretty sure the percentage is much higher.
Yup. The main concern in the bus situation is how suddenly the driver disappeared vs. reaction time of the passengers. If it’s sudden enough, and the bus is fast enough, even if all passengers were able to drive it, odds are that it’ll still crash.
Those who are currently in a bus or airplane would probably die.
Only those that are piloted by men… because I’m going to assume you don’t mean that women can’t/don’t drive busses or fly planes?
About 90% of pilots are men.
We should look at air traffic control as well… I know it’s viewed as a mostly male job, but I have no idea what the percentages are.
Also do the men magically reappear where the plane was?
It’s raining men…
That’s why I said “probably”.
Goin for gasps and got one from me lol
I believe that less than it looks like.

Yeah but what percentage of air traffic controllers are women? Those that are will have to coordinate a lot more landings than usual.
