Well boom, they’re qualified some more than qualified,and it just so happens airlines are trying to be more diverse.
They have to pass the same checkrides you do, go through the same training as you do and follow procedures as you.
The big issue will be United allowing this “goal” to become a quota - like much of the rest of the corporate world is beginning to lean towards for the sake of “diversity.”
When you hire an individual with multiple check ride busts and half the flight time over a guy with a spotless record and a wealth of experience, you’ve created a problem. That’s inevitably what will happen, and United will not be a better airline for it.
You are doing a disservice to the entire industry by parroting the nonsense about “qualifications.” Hiring candidates who meet minimum standards should never be the goal, and certainly not just because of the demographic they were born into.
Are you the most qualified candidate for the job?
That should be the only metric being used. Anyone arguing for something else is begging for disaster. This is not an industry that can afford to sacrifice quality for the sake of being woke and making sure everyone knows how un-racist/sexist/phobic we are.

That’s it.
