Only thing I've seen from Delta is that 7% of new hires last year were women. I've never sees any breakdown of male vs female experience. The Air Force seems to have had (observational, I don't have hard numbers) 15-20% female makeup of UPT classes for the last long time. Meaning that women make up a larger portion of Air Force pilot ranks than Delta new hire. Which doesn't necessarily mean anything, other than there is no shortage of qualified women leaving the Air Force.
What proof are you looking for?
Asking for proof when you know no airline will disclose that is pointless. You are ignoring the fact that 4% of pilots are female and yet legacies are hiring 15% and up of females just proves that they are indeed targeting them in the pool. They are trying to build diversity into their pilot groups and right or wrong it is happening. I just want to play the game and get hired.
