Quit making excuses for why you didn't get hired/interviewed. |

The first three questions on any app.
Or do you mean the optional disclosure form that clearly says it can't and won't be used for selection? Oh, I get it, it's a CONSPIRACY! They trick people into filling it out, then use it to only hire black gay girls! :rolleyes: Like I said, stop making excuses. |

That's dumb. So you're saying they glean gender and race from the name, address and flight time? Because if you're named Tyrone or Felicia, I guess that says it all? Stereotype much?

HR quit using them due to a rash of promiscuous box-checking. For example, a suspicious number of applicants claimed to be handicapped gay Eskimos. Now they send out the Diversity Investigative Squad to lurk, spy, and report any posers. :D

BS! They hired someone who falsified his application? |

Quit making excuses for why you didn't get hired/interviewed. You are retiring soon. You didn’t come up in our era, so you probably have different circles of coworkers and acquaintances. Many (not all) of the minorities I know have advanced to legacies much more quickly. All my WASPy friends were at military/regional jobs for about ten years before hitting a legacy. I have a hard time remembering many minorities who even put in three years in the coal mines of regionals. I can think of a couple who got snatched up in their first year. I even know of a couple of women who were hired at you-know-exactly-where in the late 80s or early 90s who only had a brand new commercial pilot certificate. Right from a Cessna or piper to a Boeing. Don’t go and try to tell anyone it’s a level playing field. It certainly isn’t. The reason fewer minorities are represented is because far fewer are pilots. The ones who are usually have a golden career at their disposal. There most certainly is preferential hiring going on. |
