It sure seems like the number of women working at XJet seems to be greater then the proportion of male to female at other airliners and in aviation in general.
So what say you XJet pilots?
Who knows what the real story is but she was pilot who on medical leave put in charge of hiring. She made a new-hire class of women, 12 of 14 were women, and she supposedly was removed from her position after that. People call it the "Women Aviation" class but I have no idea if there is any official connection. She has since returned to line flying. So, as the stories that I've heard, I wouldn't say that she was fired for hiring too many women, as much as that one class did her in.
