I think most would agree being a minority or a woman is not THE reason a pilot gets hired, but it definitely helps. If I had to put a percentage on the number of white males I fly with: 95%. Which if I'm an HR guy means I'm going to do my best to get non-white males on property if they have the requirements. You haven't flown with hardly any women or minorities? Well, do you think that's a matter of your company intentionally turning them away, or their not pursuing the profession? Positives on your app help you get the interview. Being a woman or a minority is just another positive, albeit a huge one.
