I dont think most of of are getting upset by Afirm Action at the commuter level,since those jobs are pretty much dime a dozen and stepping stones at best. Its the actions at the majors that concern me the most, espcially since the airlines like to tout they only hire the best and most quailified.
And yes, I am one of the ones that knows several females that were hired at the majors ( in the late 90s) that still had wet ink on their ATP while their male counterparts had much, much more experience and never even got an interview.
