Well unless you a minority or a woman I wouldn't bother...just read the most racist flight opps update of my life. 80% are minority and women right now in training...united has only 6% black pilots and about the same representation of women...I believe American population is only 11% black so 6% is a bit low but not that crazy. If someone doesn't sue the company over this I'll be amazed Actually just looked at the population numbers there's 250 million whites and 44 million blacks in America so doing the math I would say we are very well represented by all races, colors and creeds... Women are under represented but then again you can't ba a pilot if you don't apply... I think the numbers are very low that don't get hired so their numbers probably represent Women in aviation pretty well. I know my daughter has no interest in aviation. Maybe because it's black history month they think it's appropriate to discriminate against the most qualified regardless of race because what I read was a disgrace to all humans that achieve the status to even apply at a major. This only encourages animosity towards one group or the other...humans are ruthless and will always be regardless of any CORE policies. I say let the best man or woman win there shouldn't even be a name on a job application anymore you should be chosen by your accomplishments not color of skin or gender...the company shouldn't even have any inclination of who's showing up till they meet in person... with that said congratulations to the ones that did make it...
