  • Sky's No Limit: Redressing the Gender Imbalance in Aviation
    SKY’S NO LIMIT REDRESSING THE GENDER IMBALANCE IN AVIATION A CONTENT PARTNERSHIP CONTENTS WELCOME hether in discussions at high- level summits or studied in new research partnerships, gender diversity is becoming a Whigh-profile topic in aviation. In contrast to the many highly skilled professions that have achieved significant progress towards gender parity, aviation is a single outlier. Today, aviation is leaving half of its available pilot talent pool on the bench. While diversity stretches well beyond both gender and the flight deck, the lack of gender diversity specifically among airline pilots illuminates the issue in a highly visible way. Women have historically been underrepresented in flying for several reasons, including legal ones via military combat exclusion and cultural factors such as gender bias in career aspirations, fewer women in math and physics studies, and a lack of role models. “Female or male, people become pilots for the same CAE reasons... they love flying” Female or male, people become pilots for BillyPix the same reasons.
