Does being white and middleclass an advantage in Corporate aviation?
How does one get into corporate aviation in the UK. It seems this industry is so tight knit and insular, and I bet this must be breeching employment laws. Nearly every company you approach says that they’re fully complimented with staff, but never seem to advertise anywhere when they need crews, and if you look at the employee make up, it’s predominantly ‘white and middleclass' A friend of mine working for one of these companies, mentioned to me that management once told her to keep it as white British as possible when doing her recruitment. I’m not saying that this is true everywhere, but this was the case at her company and for obvious reasons I cannot name. With the big Airlines, this is slightly different when hiring. Anyone care to comment?
