It is different now. We will not be bullied any more.
There are no quotas. Recruitment data is de identified for the final decision. So sorry (not) it is hard to accept that the higher rate of female pilot recruitment means that the female applicants are doing better in assessment...and that those who are protesting are most likely those who would not have got a job had there been more competition from female candidates.
