All it does is repeat them. I also understand that you quoted some statistics on the number of white males compared to females or minorities in aviation. I think it's ludacris to try and staff an airline based on the amount of miniorities in the total US workforce. What's more likely...US Airlines are trying to hold down miniorities and females...or miniorities and females are interested in careers other than aviation? I'm not saying this is a "White Man's World" (cuz that's f&%*ing ignorant) but is it too much to believe that maybe...just maybe...there's not that many females that really want to be pilots?
P.S. - This topic usually gets locked up quicker than a pedophile at the National Spelling Bee.
You are still not getting the point, but I dont know you and you dont know me, nor have you walked a Kilometer in my shoes so I dont expect you to understand FYI this was not just about females but about minorities in general
.. with that said I rest my case and you are free to vent or rant or what ever you want the stats I quoted are taken from the Air Force and the Federal Government not just some number I just made up.
