Das Uber,

Do you understand that:

“If that cannot be achieved in the event nobody from a specific gender applied OR MET CRITICAL TECHNICAL OR SAFETY QUALIFICATIONS, an explanation must be provided.”

“Speaking of, clue me in on how men hold 95% of the jobs in the world”

Badly written by myself. 95% of airline jobs in a world where half the people are women. Here in the US its actually 5.4%, probably higher than in Australia.

“Why give special treatment to the remaining 5% who happen to be female just because they are perceived to be a minority.”

Prior to the D.W case against AN, it was a given that airlines in Australia did not employ women. Would you consider that this was “special treatment” for men?

“Unfortunately, I have also seen many handed jobs purely because the chief pilot thought he had a chance…..”

Yes, and I have seen MANY men handed jobs in aviation for reasons unrelated to skills or qualifications too. Aviation is FULL OF jobs for mates, handed out for dubious reasons.
