I don't know what you are all on about. Every time I go flying I hear plenty of woman involved in aviation on the radio. Its the voice of ATC!. Why? Probably it offers a more defined career path, job security and good pay. Even the cadet programs only attract a small percentage of female applicants usually around 5% which is about the ratio in most airlines. Despite the reality the job of pilot is still portrayed as one of glamour and respect. I don't see a push to have more females on the ramp yet there are plenty employed in the cabin cleaning role. Maybe airline recruiting is sexist but only in the less public roles.
