Carruthers , you have obviously decided that 50% of the population are irrelevant to society ,maybe some can't reverse cars who cares if they can or not .
I am unable to do many things ,I also possess skills I am sure that you do not and vice versa.
Our industry needs to attract a diverse group of people to its ranks,as we serve the whole world population not just one particular group.
As well as not attracting many women we still have very few people in the UK from different ethnic groups, why is this?
Perhaps aviation is seen as elitist, it is certainly very expensive without sponsership.
Career guidance at schools and universities has little mention of Flying ,be it up front or down the back of the aircraft.Air Traffic and engineering doesn,t even appear to exist.
When we are seen as a worthy career option in the eyes of the education system then perhaps there will be a more diverse selection of people be it male or female.
This can only benefit us all.
