Discrimination
I have applied for every Airline pilot role (Ryanair, BA, Aer Lingus, Wizzair, Jet2, Lauda) and been rejected before selection, in spite of meeting all the required criteria with Valid MEIR/CPL/Class 1 Medical for both UKCAA and EASA.
I am in my late 40s and of a "BAME" ethnicity, although born and raised in the UK.
My question is, how can I validate my suspicion that recruiters might be discriminating against me due to my age and/or ethnicity either due to internal unwritten policy/culture, or recruiters harbouring subconscious biases?
I hope it is not the case, but if it is, then there must be some way to protect people from discrimination in airline recruitment.
I have seen cadets get roles with their only work experience having been a store assistant in a supermarket.
What is the point of listing experience on a CV if 20 years of experience is ignored?
