I just want to make it clear that I do not support affirmative action...all I was saying was that airline pilots tend to represent the ethnic make up of the country which means that there are far less minorities then the majority...I take this as proof that affirmative action is not a big player...or else you would probably have a disproportional number of minority percentages of pilots to the actual ethnic make up.

Let me just add...that working along side people who are not the most qualified sucks and is a great way to kill a company.
