Hmmmm....simply amazing. OBAP, selecting underqualified individuals? I can believe that, but them not getting through the process? I imagine OBAP would make sure that they did, simply by threat of using the race card.

Your post is amazingly disjointed, but after reading it several times one thing does stand out...you seem to be inclined to reach out to Fedex Pilots who are members of OBAP or would like to.

Additionally, I am curious to find out specifically "what thier views" are...what views do OBAP pilot members uniquely hold that; 1) distinguish them as African American pilots. 2) Why those views warrant them not wanting to sponsor you as an African American? I'm curious...personally as a regular old American pilot.

In any event, most sponsors and pilots recommending other pilots actually do like those candidates...it used to be how we kept the tools out of being hired here. The experience and quals were a given...for most applicants.

Why not just reach out to a Fedex Pilot...You have the quals and the experience, (which I hope you have being typed as a PIC in the A/C). Why mention your RACE? It shouldn't really have any bearing on the situation should it? Again, amazing...just put in your app, like everyone else is.

And do yourself a favor, like everyone else does...take the time to do the leg work and ACTUALLY see if you know someone or, have better yet successfully worked with someone willing to sponsor you (out of the nearly 5000 PILOTS that work at Fedex). You never know.

This post killed me...what a piece of work...
