This comes up all the time, and I don’t want to start another “gender quota” thread as it’s been done to the deaths but to debunk this, in the last round of general recruitment (2017-20) the proportion of female applicants was roughly similar to the proportion of female new starts. You’re seeing more women now because more of them are applying/training in aviation compared to 30/40 years ago.
I think these posts are just started by men who weren’t up to scratch in the recruitment process but want to find someone to blame other than themselves.
