We all took different roads here & I for one am glad about it. Would be boring to fly with people of the exact same background all the time.
FWIW, I have no problem at all with any low time pilot getting on with Delta regardless of race or gender. I just wrote a LOR for a friend of mine who is female/lowtime/no PIC. No heartburn at all and welcome any new hire below me on the seniority list regardless of how hard or easy their road to Delta was. My original post that got "The Man" all riled up was meant as a joke and if it offended anyone other then him, I apologize as that was not my intent.
