Oh, you never heard of a Chairwoman? Oh that's right, you are a politically 
correct buffoon! Even a Qantas apologist perhaps! Next thing you'll tell me 
Qantas provides superior customer service! LOL. I thought Ms Jackson was a 
bit butch, but I didn't realise she had balls.

Don't stress. Margaret Jackson will get the arse very soon and the position 
will be filled by someone other than a token woman, so "Chairman" again it 
will be.

Yep - That is correct.

The word "man" as in Chairman  comes from the word "mankind" this is a 
non sexist word.

Now for the skeptics, answer this one.  HUMAN - this should be HUPERSON 
   or maybe  HUWOMEN to follow along that thinking or has the Government 
forgotten to change the discrimination law on this one.

Pity that the Sydney Morning Herald referred to her as a Chairwoman, so too 
did Jeff Kennett (who had hired her for TAC before).

Face it, you are an irrelevant fool.
