Just a Thought...
Can't quite get my head around the fact that airlines don't have to advertise their vacancies and some airlines are only recruiting people with personal reccommendations from some schools e.g. Oxford / Jerez.... don't they leave themselves open to discrimination laws (don't know much about it but a friend came across this statement that got me thinking).
OC Code of Practice confirmed that it was possible that a recruitment exercise conducted by word of mouth, by personal recommendation or by other informal recruitment method would constitute unlawful indirect sex discrimination. The Court said that if the arrangements made for the purpose of determining who should be offered employment or promotion involve the application of a requirement or condition to an applicant that he or she should be personally recommended by a member of the existing workforce, that may, depending on all the facts, be indirect sex discrimination.
