The issue is attracting more women onto the flight deck (FD)

It has been suggested that women are not aware of flying as a career.
I am not entirely sure this can be correct, as women probably still account for the majority of cabin crew (CC) , and must therefore be aware that a FD exists.

So what is it that results in such a poor take up from women for the FD?

Identify that and you are part of the way to understanding this issues.

What is interesting, is the increasing number of women going into medicine.
So how has the recruiting process changed to result in this transformation?

Update: I have asked a similar Q to the medics in their section.
