That being said, actually representing the pilot group would have a lot more average-ishlooking white guys with beers in their hands...
I'm expecting to see you in next year's CQ, newK.
Of course you'll have to be wearing your gladiator helmet doing battle with a DC-9 that just won't leave ATL for VCV....
I've done two of those flights on the DC-9. One to Stanford, FL and one to (??), Arizona. They don't fight, they just seem surprised when you tell them it's their last flight. After it settles in, they give you a quizzical look that kind of says, "Is that all you got?"
A gladiator helmet would be nice though.
As far as the diversity thing goes, I've seen videos that are 100% one way, and videos, like this one, that were 33% the other way. Because we are all human, I've noticed both ways. But, I can honestly say that neither way has ever rubbed any skin off my nose. Especially, when it comes to who is wearing four stripes versus who is wearing three.
But, like I said, to each his own.
