No, I'm suggesting that they aren't always encouraged to consider everything.
Agree 100%. There's not enough promotion of STEM careers in general to women or encouragement to apply. f course if women go looking for the advice it is there but it should be more readily available. Applying to STEM careers shouldn't be seen as a rare thing for a female to do. This is getting better (BA among others have launched ad campaigns targeting women in recent years) but there's still work to be done.
If EZY had launched a huge ad campaign packed full of female-pilot representatives I would whole-heartedly support it. What I disagree with is making a financial sponsorship dependent on gender. The financial barriers to males getting on their MPL are exactly the same as they are for women.
