"Gay recruiters are unlikely to favour gay men - Anyone other there who would disagree with that statement?"
Well I worked in cabin crew recruitment for a year, and I was usually the only male on the interview panel, so most of the decisions were made by women. Shouldn't we be asking why women prefer working with gay men?
It depends what sort of gay man I am interviewing to if I am favour them. Gay people are as individual as straight people. That is why the term "gays" is not really liked by gay people, it feels like we are being stereotyped.
I know this whole thread I started involved a bit of stereotyping in that most male crew are gay, but it my airline at least, the majority of male crew are gay. (My guess is around 80%)
I think the job does suit the single lifestyle more, and again a bit of a stereotype, but gay people generally are less likely to be in a long term relationship than straight guys. I blame gaydar.co.uk for that
