What a bizarre thing to say. Well, phew, I guess. Lucky the aircraft wasn't damaged by the single female pilot who already had her licence and was just building up hours. Me and all other males in the world would have expected her woman-brain to take over and cause her to panic-land while doing a backflip and simultaneously rolling her ankle or some shit apparently.
I'm seriously struggling to understand why "without damaging the aircraft" was added to the sentence.
Yes this headline is clearly intended to reinforce the patriarchy rather than to get clicks and sound more suspenseful. And everyone was thinking about the pilot's gender before you brought it up.
But the headline says nothing about the gender of the pilot.
Could some english native tell me if that sentence was correct? I'm not dure about my usage of "the"
It was sarcasm. Your sentence was fine except the typo which has nothing to do with language skills.
Thanks.
