Considering who the pilot hiring manager is, and the people on his team, it would be hard to believe there's discrimination in the hiring process.
I felt the hiring process was very fair and equitable.
Women still make up only 5% of airline pilots, and people of color only about 6%. While it's unsettling to see these class pictures of mostly white males, I think airline hiring is currently on target with the aforementioned percentages. That doesn't mean they shouldn't improve, however.
