I get that girls are less encouraged in daily life (not media campaigns), but on the other hand IF they make it to flight training and manage to be not catastrophic, the deal is almost set. Just my impression. Very high reward for those who show up.

I go modular, see different ATOs, instructors, career advisors and sometimes airline pilots. Females seem to struggle with similar things than men but one thing very rarely: permanent unemployment.

Men have to make the top whatever percentage applicable to the number of positions hired for. Women have to pass the standard requirements and are very close already.

I will take corrections from more experienced contributers, especially airline insiders, but my impression is that regardless of a womans age, background, ATO or what have you: once licensed and up to basic standard, women have to try hard to get it wrong.
