Because at the moment we don't have female parachutists in the Falcons. To the best of my knowledge and I maybe wrong we don't have female Parachute Jump Instructors either and you have to be a PJI to be in the Falcons. We do however have our first female pilot in the Red Arrows.
So the top and bottom of it is the RAF is not full of chauvinists.

Mate I was commissioned so long ago they asked you if you were gay at the interview stage. The read out a long spiel about how unsuitable it was in the forces and you had to say out loud that you understood and that you weren't a rear gunner. You were almost issued with homophobia.
Also remeber a story of a sailor being called in for a short notice medical, when told to underess he refused. Long story short when he did underess he was wearing a full set of womens undercrakers, bra pants and sussies too! God bless the Navy.
Its allowed now and thats a fact of life.
PJI = Para Jump Instructor

well i'm going to completely chauvinistic and say women shouldn't fly planes, they shouldn't be driving cars let alone flying planes is ridiculous, they should be at home doing the cooking and other various household chores. Worlds gone mad! bloody women all went wrong from that emmeline pankhurst business.
