Why is it that ladies have better memories than men?

I remember flying with a 17 year veteran pilot that remembered the runway layouts of every airport I flew with her. She finally made Captain the year after I retired, but then later was fired because she refused to take the jab. I understand she is flying again for American as a Captain. I was happy for her because she was an excellent pilot and pretty too.

From what I was told recently, airlines are all looking for non-jabbed pilots as they're less likely to drop dead from a sudden blood clot than jabbed pilots, so perhaps the pendulum is swinging the other way than it did 5 years ago?
 
IDK, I think the men are more about the physical elements of life and the women are more analytical because of everything that goes into planning their day and the care of the family and others and all they have on their plates in a single day.

It's our sneaky little children and watching them as they are conniving up the schemes they do that sharpen our memories also ;)

Excellent question @timoc and I believe I know the answer.

I think it is because we are well aware that, when chatting to our female friends about this and that, we need to have all the details; the whats, the ifs, the whatabouteries.

Imagine this: if I were to say to you, "I saw Jane down the pub earlier" You would probably just nod or, you might say "Jane who?" or "Oh how is she?"

But, if I said to Jane "I saw Timo down the pub earlier" she'd probably say "TIMO? What was he doing there? What time was it? Was he with that lady who lives across the road? Is he still taking those tablets? I don't think he should be drinking. Do you remember when he used to walk around his garden neigh on nekkid? Sheila was on a stepladder trying to have a peak at his roses and there he was! NEKKID! Broad daylight! So, he is down the pub again is he? You wait until I tell the girls at Bingo tonight! What time was it you saw him? Did you say he was dancing with one of the bar maids? I bet he was ...."

See Timo, men don't need to have great memories, they just need to smile, nod their heads and show a smidgen of interest whilst, us ladies need to know every single detail. It's why I take my mobile and a notepad with me everywhere, much easier to just jot it all down, take a snap and pop in on the Local Ladies' WhatsApp group ;)

I want to laugh and like your whole paragraph. Because maybe it's true?

Yes, I think so too.
My wife could accurately recall everything someone said to her in a conversation, but I cannot, especially if it gets heated and I just tune them out.
But I can usually remember phone numbers, what I paid for something, statistics, and the like.

I haven’t heard that, but I have known other pilots that refused the jab were either rehired or found work elsewhere. Most of us belong to the same union (ALPA), so our seniority follows us wherever we go to whatever airline we hire on with. I stuck with United after flying for Air Wisconsin, but our label was United Express. We flew to smaller cities and only a few larger cities, like Chicago. As soon as I was hired by United, I flew the Boeing 737.
