I’m more concerned with how strongly this will be enforced? Say there’s 10 positions for cadets, say the 50 strongest applicants are all male, are number 9 and 10 going to be dropped for female applicants ranked 51 and 52?
Can applicant 9 and 10 then take QF to court for not getting the position based on gender, as DL did with Ansett?
I think in an industry where a mistake can cost lives, hiring to meet gender targets (of all things) above ability is very dangerous.
