I would finally like to ask again a question I asked some pages ago which never received a reply: would an employer, holding an application from a female pilot in one hand and a newspaper detailing the
JS case in the other, be more or less likely now to throw that application in the bin.....
I raised that some pages ago. Perhaps my post preceded your question.
To repeat, with emphasis.....from my experiences of employers outside BA, there will be
no hesitation whatsoever in enforcing a policy (undocumented, obviously) of
no heterosexual female pilot recruits. It'd be amusing to see BALPA prove discrimination by any company outside BA.
Of course, I stipulated
outside BA. BA is a unique culture, circulating the sun on a different planet to the rest of UK aviation. I blame decades of taxpayer supported Nationalisation and a huge wad of Heathrow slots, but that's another subject.
