Amen brutha.


Anywho, sorry to disrupt the race/sex-baiting and schoolyard insults but I just thought I'd point something out.


In the next decade, the announced 50% goal seems to be almost unobtainable considering where we are starting from as of this week. And yet, that might be wholly intentional. For whatever reason, sooner or hopefully much later someone is not going to make it through the Aviate program or reach it to UAL. A lawsuit or several will probably result. If charged with discrimination UAL will have an excellent defense at the ready: "We sincerely wanted this disadvantaged pilot to make it through the program and help meet our publicly announced hiring target... but he/she just didn't meet our uncompromising performance standards." Seems like a good defense to me.


Now, give me time to step out of the way of any renewed mud slinging. I've got to keep my hat and jacket clean another week.
