Outside of the individual injustice, there has to be a point where you move forward. The individuals must be made whole. But to treat an entire group as receiving the injustice does not advance society.
My dad was denied a military pilot slot because he wasn’t tall enough. That requirement doesn’t exist anymore. Sometimes things are wrong and they need to be fixed and move on.
We’re not advocating for reparations here. In fact, we’re discussing individuals that have received the required training and acquired the necessary experience to meet the minimums as defined by the FAA and per individual company policy. This hiring cycle is such that every company is hiring at the low end of their experience requirements, but it only seems to be a problem if the beneficiary is a person of color. Although the overwhelming majority of those who will benefit from these hiring conditions and policies will indeed, be NON-MINORITIES. No one is being left behind, if you can’t get hired in these times…it’s you.
