Here's a thing, go look in the mirror. You'll see a massively privileged person looking back, why because your a white man. How many of your company training captains are white men ... pretty much all of them? Well done for getting there on merit alone lads.
Pop down to the RAeS on an average day conference and count the number of women speaking, a lot of the time you'll be lucky if there is one.
You wonder about initiatives to have more men teachers and "medical professions".
Yet despite there (UK) being more women doctors now, 66% of consultants are men. 88% of surgeons. In Australia 88% of hospital CEO's are men, 70% of medical schools, headed by men.
Think about status and ask yourself again: What is the role model for a school child.
The reason there are so few women in flying is really simple.
It's a
career, especially for a woman who wants to have children:
Only because you've made it one. Are only women supposed to want to see their kids?
Doesn't have to be a
job for everyone, if you really are involved in training and selection what have you done to make it a better job?
