This is a United thread, and United has over 7% female pilots, so your argument is already invalid. With that said, I don’t care what flavor of the human race is hired, I believe in treating everyone equally. That includes not giving preference to a person who fits a demographic over someone who will ensure brand protection until their retirement.

I am straight up saying that United has missed the boat on many many highly qualified individuals, girls, boys, white, black, whatever other division humans have made, etc., who were too busy managing a flight operation, or picking up trash in their community, or testing and certifying new equipment with the FAA, or raising scholarship money for underprivileged college students, or earning a post graduate degree, or taking care of a special needs child, etc., to attend a costly job fair on the opposite coast.
