There are many who are exceedingly underwhelmed by Delta Air Lines hiring practices.
Why? Were they black -I mean minority pilots? Women? In what way were these pilots less demonstrably qualified?
Your comments remind me of the pilots at United that did all kind of things to keep Black- I mean minority pilots out of the cockpit or have those guys terminated by any means available. Discrimination is wrong- I don't care about the melatonin in your skin. If you engage in it- black, white, gender based, it's wrong!! I feel for those both black, white and gender pilots who were unjustly treat because of who they were, not being given a chance to prove thier worth to the organization because of hang ups like this. If your qaulified to fly that aircraft, and can do it safely, then by all mean fly it.
Now some folks should never have been allowed near an aircraft, a guy named MARVIN comes to mind........
