“Firstly, the article specifically mentions quotas wrt increasing female participation”
You are referring to:
"Incentives and quotas have helped reverse this situation,"
Yes, in the past, they have, although they have not been used in the airline industry in Australia to modify the gender makeup of cockpits. Can you name an airline where quotas were used to ensure more women were employed as pilots? More importantly, the article DOES NOT suggest that JQ are planning on introducing them.
You folk really are threatened by alternative points of view. Becoming aggressive simply highlights the lack of conviction you have in your arguments.
Lets come back to this debate in a year or so or maybe 3 and see how many female pilots JQ have fast tracked into the cockpit and how many men were sidelined based solely on gender.
