Australia has more females than males in medical school.

The country of your namesake, Singapore, actually used to have quotas in favour of male doctors, as there were too many female doctors, and apparently they didn’t work hard enough or long enough. That was abolished in 2003.

But I don’t think you can compare the two professions when it comes to gender bias. Females were doctors before the Wright brothers rode bicycles. I know quite a few female doctors, and they can dictate their hours to fit around their family, and can easily move from one practice to another if it’s not suiting them. Trying doing
that as an airline pilot. The medical profession seems to naturally attract females. So far, the pilot profession doesn’t seem too.
I agree with the rest of your post, except that you have limited your “fairness” to the selection process only.
It doesn’t stop there, there is more to it than that.
We must also ensure that the workplace culture is fair.
This is a discussion happening right now in Australian federal politics, because their workplace culture has proven to be very poor.
There is no point having a gender-neutral selection process if the females are poorly treated by their male colleagues (or managers, or trainers and checkers) once they get the job.
