Eye roll. This is unbelievable. Such a clear diversion tactic. Instead of worrying about how much pilots can bench press, shouldn't we should be worrying about why the system malfunctioned in the first place? Also this - "regulators are concerned about whether female aviators—who typically have less upper-body strength than their male counterparts—may find it difficult to turn the crank in an emergency" Or maybe we shouldn't be relying on the strength of a pilot to keep a plane from crashing. If that's the best we've got, maybe the plane shouldn't be in the air...
