I know several white males who were hired too but every single one of them were AA interns before flying for Eagle/Envoy.
This is just the way things are these days and it's not only the airlines.
Stop being so dramatic. You make it seem as if all they need to do to get hired is apply outside of the flow. That is not the case, as there are plenty of minority pilots still at Envoy waiting for an opportunity. You guys are purposely telling half truths and omitting facts that do not fit your narrative.
