This is my point. People here are talking like the airline is dragging the bottom of the barrel to come up with minority admissions. The reality is, some of us may have gotten into flight training with impressive resumes, but most of us were just inexperienced kids with an interest in flying and maybe a little potential. Going through the training & the industry was the process that separated those of us who wanted it most or had a little more aptitude from those who didn't. We can talk all day long about whether or to what extent corporations should be involved in creating this type of social footprint, but the idea that the airline can't diversify its zero > career ready training pool a little bit without putting a bunch of smoking holes in the ground is pretty regressive & obtuse, in my opinion.
