Hello as a hispanic pilot in training, I was wondering if the airlines take a persons ethnicity into consideration to comply with affirmative action? I've never really put too much thought into it until recently while speaking to a senior CFI at my workplace. He was telling me that I had a better chance of getting hired later on because some companies want to meet quotas and tend to consider minorities for some postions because of it. I've always worked hard for everything I have achieved and like I said before, I never thought of how the airlines take affirmative action into play when hiring. I like to think I got a job because I worked my but off and made a great impression with my pilot skills not because im a mexican-american male.
