They all have completed the training and have an ATP plus years of existence by the time they reach the airline level.
China sends their youth to America to fly then gives them jobs. Mexico the same for the most part. Planes are not falling out of the sky.
I totally agree. My example of medical school was only presented because the data is tracked. Most anyone could do this job with the right training. My point is not in the physical accomplishment of it, but in the acceptance to it. If a goal is set to only select based on race/gender, history has shown that the initial selection will have lower standards to meet that goal.
So you end up with more qualified candidates who do not get selected because they are x race or y gender. In the case of medical school, x would be Asian and y would be female.
