I notice no one says anything. Telling isn't it?
I've flown with women pilots who were great pilots. I've flown with male pilots who were not so great and would NEVER make captain (anyone from Transmeridian knows what I'm talking about).
We all know the problem; it is inevitable that if we didnt have some sort of affirmative action there would only be male white upper income background military pilots flying at the the likes of FedEx. Having spent time at Fedex (in a different capacity) I noticed that those guys really went out of their way to find fault with minority pilots working there (this is from listening very closely to what they say and what they did).

Now, I have also sat next to a woman pilot at Mesaba who got a job flying a 4 engine jet with 1000/100; 1000 total and 100 multi who went to college in MSP. She even commented with a tongue-in-cheek fashion that she knew of no one else flying with this experience. Personally, I think she got her job because she was drop-dead-gorgeous. She literally looked like Heather Locklear wearing shoulder boards. I thought this was unfair. I remember a crash pad mate of mine who said "I dont think that women pilots are not good pilots, its just that get jobs before they become good pilots"
He's right.
Maybe we should ask if the pilots in this forum find they are more accepting of white hottie pilots over black or Hispanic men?

For the record, I think there should be some AFF. Action for pilots MEETING THE REQUIREMENTS and not below. Like I said, if we didint, it is inevitable that the pilots would always be rich republican white boyz.
