Female lowtime pilots are being phoned not on merit, experience etc, but only due to gender requirements.
That statement is not 100% correct. There are "High Time" Female pilots that are not being called either, so it is not as simplistic as you point it out to be.

Females fly a little, and then get pregnant .......................
If your wife had the
passion and dedication/commitment for aviation
would you agree to a life without kids?

This with sooooo many pale/male pilots who are much better qualified and experienced, not to mention their passion and dedication/commitment for aviation.

Without even trying, I can name 5 "Pale Males" that joined SAA in the last 4 months, from our company alone - Non of them were Cadets.

Maybe an attitude adjustment would help you in your quest - just a thought.
