A level playing field is all I'm saying.
I agree that a level playing field would be nice. However, without posting resumes its hard to know what else she has going for her. Trust me, I don't like thinking I got hired solely because I'm female any more than you like me getting hired solely because I'm female. I've spent 16 years so far in the military building my career which included a whole lot more than flight hours. I'm more than willing to show my resume to anyone to prove it.
The writing is on the wall that flight hours are not THE ONLY important thing. There's a min threshold, but that just gets you in the door. The writing is on the wall that they want to hire people with more than just flight hours. Safety, degrees, volunteerism, military experience (not necessarily mil flying always). You can spend a lot of time complaining about it, or you can get out there and diversify yourself to stand out. Your choice.
