Honestly Keg, I wonder which side you're on half the time.

If what you say is correct then just look at the 100 cadet applicants. I understand about 15 were female and none of them were rejected as opposed to about 30 males. How's my maths?

Male: 35% failure rate
Female: 0% failure rate

By my count about 5 females should have missed out.

I'm not sure what's happened since, the "sample group" has grown hugely from the original cadet group.

Why are you guys in mainline not stamping your feet about this? Your airline clearly has a discriminatory recruiting practice in addition to a terribly flawed one run by incompetents. Why is AIPA not kicking up a fuss about this either?
