Gender/sexual orientation/color is not a qualification, for any position.
There are guys getting picked up too without a PIC time - also a slap in the face of all those who worked hard and upgraded.

^^^^ Worked hard and upgraded versus whom? Those who worked hard and got stuck in the right seat for 7-8 years? lol. Easy to pass off luck as ability.
Its all one big lottery, ability doesn't count for jack in the airline industry, at least for civilian pilots. If you believe it does......well.......

The days of women getting hired with super low times is long gone. Did it happen before? Yes. Women got picked up with amazingly low hours at United an other Majors. But that was long LONG ago. There are more than enough women aviators to "check the box" in the female category.
No one looks at you and says, "Oh you got hired because you're a white male." You have no idea how annoying it is to have someone say "Oh, you got hired because you're female" People (not everyone of course) assume we aviatrixes got our jobs because of our sex, not our skills or dedication.

So there are many folks who took the test back in December and January who are still waiting for the interview phone call to come through. Any news of upcoming interview dates which they might be calling for soon?

Every now and then this thread inexplicably takes a turn and heads south into the realm of trash talk normally relegated to Flightinfo.com. It's time to knock it off and get back into the business of helping pilots who would like to come on board at Atlas.
