I must admit that getting sucked out of a plane window doesn't sound much fun.

So either her shoulders stopped her going through, or it's impressive that the passngers were able to stop her going through. which is it, dumbass?

Birds make good peelohs in my experience.

The best pilot I ever knew was a bird, actually.

My prejudices against pilots are much more national than gender-based. Much better an American woman than a Greek or Spaniard, for instance.

Now look - your tone is utterly unacceptable. I will now clarify my hypothesis.

- Window broken by engine shrapnel at FL320 (this may require a modification to the plastic used in windows).
- Woman's head sucked through window due to explosive decompression.
- Shoulders must have delayed exit since she'd have been out in a couple of seconds if not.
- Passengers hang on to her - but by this stage aircraft was probably at FL200 or below so was a pointless task (ignoring the fact she would have most likely been deceased by this stage.

Obviously. One doesn't want a pilot who can't speak or behave properly.

How fat was she? Imagine if a big lardy yank had been the suckee. That would have been something to see.

Aircraft. Aeroplane. 'The jet' if you are the one flying it.
