So maybe it actually is the industry, not due to the industry not fostering the interest, maybe some women just aren't interested in aviation as an industry.
Personally I think this is really the root cause of the problem which noone in an airline will be able to fix, or will want to spend the money on. Hence they just come up with half-arsed ideas that just make everyone's life more difficult.

I would like to see some of the Air Force Stats as that provides a much friendlier environment for a career and lifestyle than GA to airlines would.

What ratio does the Air Force have applying and what ratio is then recruited?

For all those trying to suggest that is a good idea, how would you feel as a bloke missing a recruiting window and be stuck in a low paying job just because a woman who had inferior experience to you (but still make the minimums) got an interview and you didn't? Airline recruiting comes in waves and it is easy to just miss out for whatever reason then be on the backburner for a long time without even getting a shot.
