I accept your point yet what other methods can be used to redress the balance?
So you're suggesting that to address the fact that only 1 in 5 (or thereabouts) CPL holders (and therefore those able to be employed as pilots) are female we should be employing 40% or more females? That's a fair solution?

In what way are women discriminated against from gaining entry into our industry? Zero
In what way is it implied that our industry isn't suitable for women? Zero.
Are there programs that specifically target women to encourage them into the industry? Yes.

Yet despite all this you support hiring not on merit but on identity. Insanity.
