I agree that they are extremely rare and I have no problem with a more diverse pilot group. It isn't the number that people are pointing out because as someone else already posted there is hard data to prove it. It is about their experience level upon being hired compared to the average qualifications at that time. Anyone that meets the minimums is fair game and legacies have hired all types of people well below the average qualifications but I think the averages would show a helping hand being offered to minority pilots. OBAP and WAI are great groups that do offer very helpful resources to get hired and every legacy airline is at their career fair without fail.
