Send both of their apps into the majors, and my money is on the female to get an interview and be hired first. I'm not saying the male wouldn't be hired also or eventually, but if they're vying for one spot, it's not even a contest.
Who would you put your money on?
So what? You have a long road ahead of you, and you’re worrying about this crap? You have far more obstacles ahead of you then a few female pilots that might get an offer at United. You are MUCH more likely to be affected by checkrides, networking, recessions, etc. The amount of time you’ve spent dwelling on minority hiring at the airlines is ridiculous.
