I am aware of at least one female pilot in the company I work for who was given a definitive NO from the pilot interviewers who were subsequently overridden by the HR manager who cited a need for more women pilots. The result was an unmitigated disaster ending in rather public departure.
Take from that what you like but quotas or hiring preference for women is all bad just like it would be for men in a female dominated career. Merit is the only way to hire people.
