Sad but true Slickster.
I'm not saying that this is rife but I too worked for a company who exercised positive discrimination. The Chief Pilot explained it away by saying that 'X%' of licence holders were female and so he wanted 'X%' of pilots in the company to be female.
Absolutely no truth to the rumour that he then spent most of his time trying to get them into bed (with limited success).
Pretty demeaning for the ladies in question as they were then all under suspicion as to how they got into the company. Some, without doubt, could have got the job on merit and deserved to be there. Others were quite obviously there just to maintain the CP's quota (in more ways than one).
Mind you, I can also think of one or two guys who were absolute muppets.
Wonder how I got in?
