I can see good points being made by both sides of the argument here.
I like the idea that names and genders are removed from the stack of cv's prior to selecting pilots for interviews. It not only removes gender bias but many others as well, ie ethnicity.
I was on a panel that trailed through cv's for pilots to interview a while back. We definitely gave two girls a shot that had well below the standard for total time and one had no command time at all apart from that required for a licence. At that time no bloke without some good command time would have got an interview that is for sure. I have no idea how they worked out as I left the outfit shortly after.
