That's what I was saying, lets return to the discussion of AA. Maybe I need to edit that post for clarity.
Since experience is a factor in how we see this question, what has been your career?
4 years in 121 (1 as a CP), and 5 years in 91/135 (4 as a CP). the 121 had 1700 employees at it's height, and the 135 had 120.. I've also spent 2 years as a CFI with 3 difference places.
The goal is to hire the best qualified pilot...not to engage in social engineering.
Again, if I ever said anything else, then please show me where.. I may have addressed training and exposure to the career in the formative years, but never at the hiring board.
Let's talk about today. Not the past. Do you have any evidence that discrimination exists today as it once did years ago?
I don't have any, but then I'm not black, and without walking in the shoes of someone who is, I can't see how you would know either?
