Dear Luke,
No there aren't any female pilots in EK at present , and I don't believe there will be for some time yet. We did ALMOST have 1 or 2 a couple of years back though.
Recruitment management at the time lobbied very hard, and very effectively, that EK should hire female expat pilots (very few local ladies pursue the piloting profession). The powers that be decided to give it a try, so applications were taken, interviews were given, and in one case an official job offer was made. However....... when the contract went "upstairs" for final signature/approval they baulked.
The whole thing was very sad; senior management wanted to be "seen" to be an equal employer, but never believed a woman would actually get through the recruitment process. When one (or two) actually did pass they panicked, backpedaled, and withdrew the offer.
