Correct me if I'm wrong but the ones that came in under the PIC requirement were about 10 years ago, for a brief time.

One of them balled up an MD-10 a few years ago.

EVERYONE ELSE on the seniority list made it the hard way. I know probably 20 female or minority pilots personally here, and they all have backgrounds way above the average paleface. My sim partner as a new hire was an F-18 pilot off a carrier during the Afghan campaign. I have the utmost respect for him. Don't worry about it Double D.
