And another couple of things.....
Another line from the MALE ALLY document:
".... or criticising a woman for the necessity of undertaking family duties"
This statement highlights the company's hidden prejudice and stereotyping in assuming that family duties are undertaken by women by necessity.
Consider a married couple who are both first officers. They have a baby. They are both coming up for command, but the woman is a better pilot than the man so they decide that the man should stay at home and look after the baby, and the woman should do her command as she has the best chance of passing. It is clearly NOT a necessity for a woman to undertake family duties, but the wording of this statement just shows this company's deep rooted underlying assumptions about a person's sex and their assumed family and work duties.
Once again it is not the male employees at fault here but the underlying sexual bias at this company.
Have these white males that call themselves our management thought through what is going to happen here?
In a drive to equal the number of female pilots they hire (rather than an equal proportion), they will accept any female with a pulse - assuming more men than women apply for the job.
As a result, a majority of these women will not be as good as the men that also were accepted.
These sub par female pilots will create an illusion to their male colleagues, that female pilots in general are not the same standard as their male colleagues. So of course the opposite outcome than the original intent will occur.
These morons need to do: Simply get to the grass roots level (schools & universities) and encourage an equal number of young men and women to apply for pilots jobs. Then hire on merit and the number of men and women recruits should be about even. The pilots will be of equal abilities, and this whole sexual equality thing will not be an issue.
Leave the male employees out of this. Solve your own underlying prejudices first instead of blaming your employees.
One final thought:
In scheduling the all female crews for the recent KA flights that were widely publicised in the company magazine, were other crews rosters moved about unfairly, or their roster requests affected? Because there is no transparency in the request system we will never know.
