Cutting out the emotional BS, there is one real problem that concerns me....

That is the confidential memo to managers requiring a justification report to senior management if a female pilot is recommended for disciplinary action, downgrading, failure to perform other adverse findings or termination.

THAT is the dangerous and expensive side to “quotas”, not the recruitment side.

It costs lots of money to bribe anyone but white males into accepting job loss for non performance because you have, as a manager, to guard against discrimination lawsuits. That is, of course, if you can convince senior management whose kpi’s include “diversity” that you have a non performing member of a protected species in the first place.

To put that another way, you will know you are operating an unbiased system when failure rates are equal.
