Of course.
Sane rational minds KNOW THIS.
In some ways, 7.4% is a number that should be celebrated. Better than the national average? Absolutely. Still cosmically low compared to other industries? Definitely.
But the burning question is, of the applicant pool, how many are of that demographic?
As to the last sentence, that point gets DISCUSSED/BEAT/ARGUED TO DEATH.
And the discussion goes way beyond any hiring practice.
It's nice to see UAL announce more new hire classes. A pleasant departure from the predictions of March's Crew Resource Update.
Agreed on that.
For a change, we may beat the hiring projection.
