IMHO PR and HR came up with this plan to attract women pilots.

PR doesn't like the fact while world average percentage of women pilots in commercial aviation is around 5%-6%, EK is slightly above 1%. 58 of 4000.

Also Indian carriers hiring women pilots more to avoid poaching by gulf carriers. EK HR is not happy about it.

What I understood India's eastern style(combined/extended) family structure and roaster accommodations specific for women pilots are the reasons they are able to attract women pilots. Both are absent with UAE and EK.

Makes it just another wasted multi million dollar stunt like Jetman, Aniston, Ellen Show ...
