Please point me in the direction where JQ state that quotas are their policy objective. Your evidence thus far does not carry water.
Quota : "1. the share or proportional part of a total that is required from, or is due or belongs to, a particular district, state, person, group, etc."
​Jetstar : "For the past year, it has had a policy in place to aim for an even split between male and female candidates for interviews and shortlisted for jobs"

First math lessons, now English. I should start charging.

More importantly, JQ is motivated by dollars; in this case, making sure that there is a plentiful supply of pilot applicants in the future. A quota DOES NOT solve this problem for JQ at all.
50% correct.

JQ is simply providing a framework to figure out why it is that only 5% of pilot applicants are female.
More whitewashing. JQ hasn't started a careers research centre. They are actively 'working hard' to alter the gender split for interviews and shortlist positions. Its not something for the future, its been happening for a year.

Changes to culture to give women the confidence to pursue a non traditional field takes years, decades. You cherry picked past this point last time, but lets try again.

What is J* actively 'working hard' on, to alter the gender split for interviews and shortlist jobs right now?

Keg has already called you on the 'fostering the industry' tripe.

Lastly;

I'm seriously starting to think you're someone I know trolling me for laughs.
