I think it's the right thing to try and equal the gap between the number of male pilots and the number of female pilots, but they need to look deeper into it. I'm certain the main reason for it being a male dominated industry is simply because on the whole, more males are into it. So by giving females bursaries, it's only really going to help females who already want to do it, and bursary or no bursary, the ones benefitting from it are going to get their licences anyway.
They should really just accept that in the current day, there are more men actually wanting to do the job. But that doesn't mean females who want to do it should be disadvantaged - but I think its wrong to give them an advantage over males.
All this positive discrimination is stupid, people should be rewarded for their suitability and capability, not their gender, ethnicity or sexuality.
