TV series on CF-18 pilot training

[observor 69]

Seems you've found some DND-released information.  I guess you've answered your own question.

Not really. Brasseur retired a Major, it seems odd that Foster is only a Capt. and still in the military by 2007 ?
Ya I know nothing says she had to get promoted but odds are that she would have made it past Capt.

I know many career Cpls ... and I also know many career Captains. I even know those who choose to remain there -- rather than increasing their odds of "desk" duties.

Speaking of CF-18 training we know that Capt Deanna Brasseur and  Captain Jane (Van Ingen Schenau) Foster graduated from CF-18 training. There is lots of Google info on Maj.Brasseur but whatever happened to Capt. Foster ?

It seems odd, then, that you referred to Deanna Brasseur as Major and Jane Foster as Capt?

Besides, did you even look closely at the first picture you linked?  You can see the name tag fairly well.

Yes I did see that. But as I said to me it is unusual to see people of such a high profile, one of the first two women in the world to fly a jet fighter aircraft, to spend a long career and still be a Capt.
I am not trying to make a mountain out of a mole hill here it is just in my experience in the fighter world that Capt. Foster would have gone up at least one rank after a number of years.
It also occurs to me that these two women were, as I recall from that time period, under a lot of pressure, they were breaking new ground in the fighter pilot world.
If there is no new info to be added to this topic I will stand down.

Why ?

Is she supposed to be promoted faster because she was the first ?

What does being a woman have to do with anything ?

No, see my previous comment

Nowadays, nothing!  Back then it was a big deal and from where I sat it remained a big deal for a number of years afterward.

Going nowhere, except in old, familiar circles around the drain.

This is locked, as it's coming close to someone being a troll.
