Honestly, why should anyone care about diversity in this industry? We are pilots; literally not a single thing about our career has any bearing on our gender or ethnicity. Being white or black has no bearing on being able to read a checklist and think critically and fly a plane.
Diversity is beneficial to some careers, not ours. Why people are so obsessed with skin color or gender is beyond me
