Yeah, and please give me a break. Have these people that are complaining up and down of discrimination actually interviewed in last 10 years?

You are right, you may not know from the outside, so you'd have to have a pretty good idea of why, and of it happening to other people. If it really was happening like that, there'd be very good records. Do you have any idea what the airlines have to gather on someone for interviewing and processing (yes, you do)? HR keeps information and of course there are people there that did the processes. These days, with the computer systems we have, and all the information I was mentioning above, you'd have to be running a crazy sophisticated system to be doing this to any real extent.

The reason I'm bringing this up is because HR and hiring in process has become a very technical process these days, it's not as apt at leaving loose ends and mysterious preferential hirings as it was in the past.
