No, they advertised it because abnormal-lefties think it's the next best thing to sliced bread. They pander to their perceived audience. Sort of like telling someone what you think they want to hear. The company is proud of their program, that's why they are advertising it. They have a dedicated program that is doing what it set out to do. They manage it, shape it, and develop it the way they want to, without any input from pilots. They do this because they know pilots will go out and hire pilots, and that would divert or marginalize their program.

Actually, my Commander in the guard is a woman. Not a problem. She's great. She would also be the first person to tell you she has a problem with hiring women for women's sake. When she burned the bra she also burned the bridge that goes from jane-complain to I own the outcome. Time for the world to grow up and own their outcomes.

You can be sorry all you want, but real diversity and real inclusion means letting the process be focused on real qualifications and hiring only the best of the best. We can hire the best and we should celebrate that instead of putting out "puff-pieces" that celebrate the color of someone's skin or their gender and then beating our chest saying "look at us, look at UAL, we're the best at hiring x, y, and z classes of, or categories of pilots.

I think the real best practices in hiring currently is at Fed Ex, SWA, and UPS, and likely DAL makes the list. They just quietly go about doing a good job of hiring everyone UAL fails to even give a Hogan to.
