I am doing a study of sexual harrassment, especially during the interview and training stage of employment for female pilots.
If you, or a friend have ever experienced such suggestions, would you please let me know. Please just indicate the city and the year it occurred.
Thanks.

You know, some of you guys slay me. You speculate as to why one other person got a job over you and all the time showing us the real reason in the kind of character you emulate in your posts. Their have been studies that indicate that looks factors into the hiring process but if you think that these people are going to the CEO's offices and getting it on for the job then you have been cruising more than just the AVCANADA website to regularly

Like I said, they get in because they're hot, but only because the employer was forced to hire them...Some Chief Pilots are pigs.
Once they're on, it's game over for the employer.
Employer gets screwed either way. CP if he's lucky gets some action, or class-action.
And the tramp continues, trampling over the gents..

You may not like this, but it is none the less true. I know of numerous good looking women who got jobs that their times and educations really don't match. I realize that this doesn't fit in with the current 'picture' that the social engineers are trying to sell us. But you can't argue with empirical evidence.

- 24 yo slim brunette, well shaped, gets on right seat Cheyene, 300 hrs
.... and I can go on. I could name names, but that would prove little point. I'm willing to bet that I'm not the only one with similar stories. If you really want some good stories I could tell you about some of the stuff that went on the in military when I was in back in the early 90s.
The simple fact of the matter is that women have the advantage in the job market these days. Discrimination is still alive and well, but its white males that are on the wrong side of it. I know because I experienced it.
Before I started in the aviation industry I was a teacher. I got out of school in the mid-90s, right at the height of political correctness. There were teaching jobs for which I was qualified, but I was not allowed to apply. I was told point blank, "We are not accepting applications from white males". That was it. End of story. That's discrimination, and until you've had that happen to you, you don't know what you're talking about.

Tks for the small voice of reason. It is a genuine study but seems to have appealed to the more purient nature of our 'fellow' aviators, some of whom seem to lose blood flow to the brain at the idea.
Maybe that is a hurdle for them.
