Qantas Recruitment
They have actually managed to achieve that metric already. There are the now the exact same amount of female and male baggage handlers employed by Qantas.
You’d think people would be happy about it but apparently there has been a court case (or 3) over it. Qantas just can get a break.

haha brilliant. You’re right! Exactly the same
amount employed by Q
It's not just Qantas. As we drove to the airport in Brissy recently my wife commented on the lack of male pilots displayed on any of the airline's advertising billboards.

A re-fueler has mentioned just less than 200 or so mainline pilots applied to be pilot recruiters for this next intake , looks like crew want to have a say in who they work with and not quotas.

For all those who talk about “quotas” I ask if they are seeing levels of competence decreasing due to these supposed “quotas”. Then they usually are forced to admit the current generation of recruits are generally competent, hard working and good people to go flying with, as most are.
The back in my day successful guys who have retired at 65 with unblemished careers and runs on the board are numerous. Most of us would never have achieved our 25000K plus hours on many different fleets, had we not had the talent and know how to adjust and move with all of the best world practice traits. I guarantee we know our stuff, our record proves it, and if we express a view here, it is not on a social whim, but based on cold hard experience.

So if 1000 people apply and 100 of them are hired, if 10% are female (100 female applicants) then roughly 10 of the 100 hires are female.
So no favouritism shown (ie no quota).

No - to make it clear what I mean is women are being hired at roughly the same rate as they apply.

yep, indeed, because we know how good results are generated. Not by social media, not by hubris, but by seriously understanding aviation. QF is only one of many legacy Airlines. It is not the benchmark of all things to all aviators. It is a great Airline, and it’s safety record is unsurpassed, but going forward, HR should have more confidence in flight operations to totally control the agenda, hence my original comments on this forum, and yes, I have worked for QF, and
I am not angry.

If there's a quota they're doing a terrible job fulfilling it.

Exactly. Roughly 1-3 women on each course of about 12-20.
I think a lot of the fear spread about supposed ‘quotas’ is from some pilots who weren’t successful with their application but can’t accept it, so they take comfort in believing they fell victim to the mythical ‘quota’.

What a strange turn to the thread, who cares if female candidates are accepted at a higher rate (I don’t think that is true). Having more diversity amongst the Pilot ranks has to be a good thing after all. Maybe the Female candidates with the higher acceptance rate are just better candidates?
