The people who notice such things (i.e. race, gender, creed etc). are REALLY the ones who think that race, gender creed, etc are an issue.......I don't think that it is an issue. I only mention it to make a story. If they were BLUE, I would also say so....get it??????
No, I still don't get it. You said they were all "eek" females, as if that were scary. To me it seemed irrelevant. Anyway, you already apologized for lumping all ATP grads into one pile, and I accept that. I still, however resent your comment that they pass unqualified people, because as I previously stated, 1) I know that NOT to be true, and 2) if you flew with them, then your employer at that time passed them, too.
Weak pilots can meet the mins of a test and sneak through at any school. I saw some pass that while I knew they were weak, they were able to meet the PTS. Didn't mean I would want them flying my wife around in actual to mins, but I certainly couldn't stop them from getting their certificates.
ATP is a good school that delivers on its promises and is places a lot of emphasis to its new hires that man the phones on being truthful in their discussions with potential students. They don't promise jobs, etc. And they provide good instruction that I KNOW made me a very competent pilot. It just makes me mad when I hear someone who clearly doesn't have any actual inside knowledge call them shady, etc, on a public forum. That's just simply not true.
Merry Christmas to you.
PS - So you think if I got a sex change I could get on at UPS?
