Most airlines do have a certain quota of 'minorities' that they aim to fill and as there is a smaller percentage of pilots that are women, a fully qualified and capable female pilot would have a SLIGHTLY increased chance of employment. However let me stress that it certainly isn't easy for anyone (including women) to get an airline job, you still have to put in the work and impress at the interviews, so I wouldn't either worry about or rely on the assumption that it is easier for women. At the end of the day, anyone who ends up in employment has done it on the back of their own hard work!!
