Proof? I guess something backing up your statement minorities are hired with less time or experience. Other than "people say."
Only thing I've seen from Delta is that 7% of new hires last year were women. I've never sees any breakdown of male vs female experience. The Air Force seems to have had (observational, I don't have hard numbers) 15-20% female makeup of UPT classes for the last long time. Meaning that women make up a larger portion of Air Force pilot ranks than Delta new hire. Which doesn't necessarily mean anything, other than there is no shortage of qualified women leaving the Air Force.
