Thankyou Oicur.. .. .Now which of these categories do you feel a pilot who does not get an interview, fits in to?. .. .Assume you mean the last one? How will said pilot ever know as there is no requirement to provide a reason to an applicant.. .. .Heard the HR & EO Commissioner on the radio once talking about Job ads, how they should not discriminate on sex etc. Seems to me if you want a young woman as a receptionist for your business, what is the point of being non-gender specific in the advert. You will only interview/shortlist the young women. All that does is waste everyone's time. So if an airline has a profile of the staff they want, great. Just because you have a licence and the required minimum experience they don't owe you an explanation of why you did not get to interview.
