...So let’s focus the efforts on bringing opportunities and support to potential minority populations not to guarantee slots based on race.
Aren't you unintentionally arguing
in favor of the Aviate initiative? United is
not creating a hiring quota through this program as you are implying. They are committing to providing training
opportunities to a certain number of people who will then have the
opportunity to interview for a job with United. There are no guaranteed jobs. Basically, they are investing at the zero to CFI level to ensure more diversity among the field of competent and qualified
applicants they have to
choose from. If you're really all for "pour[ing] all your efforts into expanding equality of opportunity" like you claim, it seems like you'd be all for this.
