Yep UAL was famous for hiring women and miniorities with virtually no time in the 80's due to a concent decree. My cousin was a USCG C-130 driver academy grad had thousands of hrs flying in Alaska and when he applied to UAL during this period he didn't even get a response but I saw they hired one woman out of riddle with around 600 hrs no turbine time and put her sideways in the DC-10. Doesnt surprise me this Capt was clueless.
