To determine compliance with the law, JetBlue must show that there isn't a significant difference in hiring stats for the protected classes.
At UAL they were found to be in violation for not hiring 50% women. Nevermind that probably only 10% of applicants are women. This is why if you are female and meet minimum qualifications you pretty much have the job there. Just one example.
Have you looked around jetblue? The pilots tend to be white males, but the rest of the airline is majority Hispanic. They definitely recruit this group. I personally don't care, as it makes business sense considering all the Latin America flying we do.
This place discriminates. Just like they all do. It's social justice at work.
