They are allowed to bypass much of the pain getting to majors/legacies. Straight to the front of the line. Why spend money on training with the myriad of scholarships only available to women? How often have we seen women get hired with FAR less qualifications than their male counterparts. Hey, great gig if you can get it; I would take advantage of it if I were a woman too. But please, enough already with the gender warfare coming from the privileged class.
^^ That guy. That's not how Affirmative Action works!! All it means is if say 10% of a region is a certain race or gender, then one would expect to see roughly 10% of that region's workforce as being that race or gender. It doesn't mean "hire all of the women." It means "ATTEMPT to show a statistically accurate representation of your application pool in your hiring process in order to avoid discrimination, but still hire the most qualified applicant."
And isn't it common knowledge that it's not what you know, it's who you know? Of course some people (white male and minority both) are being hired over more qualified counterparts; they are friends with a chief or are better at networking themselves or are better at filling out that damn Airline App. I'm so sick of being told that I've had it so easy because I'm a chick. No, actually, I worked my a$$ off for over a decade, just like everyone else, just to get to the regional level. And just like everyone else, I'm stuck playing the stupid Job Fair game waiting and hoping for an interview call. My *** have had zero effect on my aviation career thus far, except maybe to give me back problems.
Phew. Rant over.
Preach it! It only takes a quick look around at the pilot ranks to see that the argument of women and minorities "takin' er jerbs!" doesn't hold any water. I can think of plenty of "average white male" types (myself included!) in the aviation world who have advanced well ahead of better qualified and more deserving minority populations.
Never underestimate the shrillness of angry white men!

Also who cares what Delta requires of women? Why do you care especially because I assume you're a man? If you are you sound like the kind of guy that sits to pee.
This guy in another thread also caught my eye. As a white, secular male I guess I shouldn't care how Alabama treats blacks, or how Germany treats Jews or how human traffickers treat refugees? I'm not part of any of those groups so it's not my concern, right? I should just butt out? Great! That's a weight off my mind
