Quotas are just PC gone over the top, IMHO. It should always be the best person on the day gets the job, regardless of whether they are male, female or other. There are many reasons for a gender imbalance in particular careers. Perhaps there are still less women in aviation in this day & age is due to the fact that the job is not as appealing to women as it is to men. If that is the case, you won't be able to force the issue, no matter how much you try, unless perhaps you make it much more attractive as a career for women. And that could be a minefield of higher costs & a can of worms management may not want to open. Who knows?
