A
Qantas pilot who advocated for
gender equality at the airline is now suing the company, claiming she was sexually harassed and discriminated against.
Davida Forshaw, who has been with Qantas for 23 years and is still employed as a first officer, alleges she was sexually harassed by some of her male colleagues during her career in a statement of claim she filed to the Federal Court on Wednesday.
In the court documents, Ms Forshaw alleges she was told to dye her hair and wear a push-up bra, received a poor performance review after rejecting sexual advances and fetched coffee for pilots.
She is seeking monetary compensation from Qantas and is also demanding the airline increase its number of female pilots by introducing a quota.
