Hopeful pilot, I think you might be "hopeful" for quite a while with your ignorance of airlines, recruiting procedures and female pilots.
Around 3% of commercial licence holders are female. In the UK I think BA is the only airline that meets or exceeds 3% female pilots. If there were positive discrimination every airline would exceed 3%.
Until very recently there were UK airlines with no female pilots.
I believe in the UK there are no pilot managers or chief pilots who are female.
Positive discrimination towards women is both not allowed and also does not happen. You have a very low opinion of (male) Chief Pilots if you think they would offer a job to someone who does not meet the selection standard, purely because they were female.
Homework for Hopeful Pilot - contact all UK airlines and report back to us with the percentage of pilots who are female, at each airline.
