Marital status in Job applications?

[Miguel.]

Dear all,

I am in the process of applying for a program with an airline in Singapore. What I wanted to ask is, do airlines tend to discriminate between a candidate who's marital status is single compared to someone who is married? The course involves spending 9 months away for training.

I would assume that being being married would work against you? What are other peoples thoughts, experiences?

Thanks!
