What issues do employees in Qantas face if they are gay? Are they disadvantaged in some way? Are they over looked for promotion? Do they not get a fair go?
There is nil organisational prejudice in the Qantas workforce. In pilot ranks we have gay Captains, F/Os and S/Os. We have gay pilots in Training roles. We've had gay pilots facilitating CRM. We have gay pilots in management and office roles. They are probably over represented in those roles given their numbers in the wider pilot community. Female pilots are probably over represented in management positions also given their ratio in the wider pilot community.
If you want to look at other roles within Qantas you could argue that females and gays are over represented as a ratio of the wider community as well- HR, F/As are two off the top of my head.
So what prejudice is there to overcome for Qantas?
When I got my commercial licence in 1976. I went to the outback flying. There sightseeing companies and then RPT. I found it then was a real Boys club . .All very straight but I was me. I had to fly that little bit better and be that little bit better to get my colleagues respect and I did. Has some fun asides also after work. Whats it like moments in the outback. Think there is a book there :-)
