From The Age article "Time to 'up the ante' to get more female pilots says Qantas boss Alan Joyce" - selected quotes.
In a bid to lift women pilots in Australia, Qantas boss Alan Joyce has committed to a goal of at least 50 per cent women in its pilot cadet intake in a decade's time.
Qantas will commit to a 20 per cent intake of women in its 2018 cadet program, and double that number over the next decade to reach gender parity, at intake.
"We must work at the grassroots level to encourage girls and women into studies that can lead to a career in aviation," Mr Joyce will say.
"We just need to reinforce the message that girls and women belong in technical jobs."
Never mind that they may not want to be pilots - we're gonna make 'em fly!
