I can only roll my eyes!
Unfortunately, 99.9% of minority pilots in the U.S. don't have this kind of accumulated access, for historical reasons that I shouldn't have to explain. The history, and results of being entitled is the affirmative action that so many, convienently, don't want to talk about!
