Note: Five pilots on the LHR Airbus fleet applied to work part-time in Feb/March 2004. Man applied for 75%: Refused. Four women applied for 50%: One granted 50%; other three (incl Starmer) offered 75%. Starmer declined the offer and claimed she was the victim of sex discrimination
2) Was that ‘PCP’ to the detriment of a considerably larger proportion of women than men?
Held: Yes.
Of the relatively small number of BA pilots who'd applied to work part-time, there were more applications by women than men.
So, although there was evidence that BA was in fact more likely to grant an application by a woman, it could still be proved by statistics that the proportion of women refused part-time contracts under BA's criterion was larger than the proportion of men - because more women applied
I might be missing something, but looking at your figures above, looks like 0% of women who applied during the period were refused part time contracts and 100% of men were refused.
I would think the gentlemen concerned, if he so chose, would have a case for sexual discrimination and not the women.
