No, I am correct in my facts. We make MORE than a concerted effort to push for diversity. Heck, we have at least two videos out there advertising our Diversity status. If it wasn't important to the corporation, we wouldn't be advertising it.
Which Airline has the most female pilots? United. Today, United released a PR piece.....Of the 34 Major airlines, United has the most female pilots WORLD WIDE. The article in forbes highlights that 7.4 percent of our pilots are women, and we're proud to CONTINUE our STRONG commitment to making DIVERSITY and INCLUSION part of our CULTURE.
I am THRILLED TO work for a company that's LEADING the way as the TOP airline with the most female pilots WOLRDWIDE said Captain Bebe Oneil.....
Listen, you don't get to be a world leader in anything without making it a priority. When you go out of your way and fail to interview pilots with 5 combat tours, 13 air medals and 4000 hours and a few type ratings, and instead you interview kids fresh out of flight school, who check the diversity box and lack any PIC turbine time you gotta be doing that on purpose, not by accident.
UAL is doing the big diversity push as a PR stunt. Actually, if I was a woman, or a minority, I would be offended that I got in the door and more qualified candidates did not. It's a rigged system and it is what it is. We should simply be honest and call a spade a spade.
4.3% of all ATP's are women. Ok, big deal. But, UAL has almost twice that at 7.4%. You don't simply double that percentage by happenstance. You gotta make a concerted effort to beat anything by almost 100 percent.
My position is simply this: UAL has made a highly concerted effort to make DIVERSITY and INCLUSION the focus of their hiring. Not too often to do you see companies publicly bragging about their diversity/inclusion practices. Maybe you could call the chief story-teller and ask her why UAL is doing that. Here's a clue for you...Forbes doesn't do a focus piece without someone collecting and feeding them the data.
No way should we be hiring people out of the regionals who never upgraded to Captain. Especially those that have only been there a short period of time. Too many highly qualified people out there.. But, if you checked the diversity box for the corporate image, then it's ok.
