Reading comprehension is key. I don’t know who you are, who you work for, and frankly don’t care. I’ve got my number on the seniority list and am not going anywhere - deal with it. American Airlines will continue to hire the most qualified candidates moving forward regardless of race/gender, etc. Keep preaching that narrative if it helps you sleep at night.

86% of ALL ATP’s are white males. That includes all the retired ATP’s. The growth in one group alone has increased by 4%.
So the current candidate pool is probably closer to 80% white male.

“American Airlines will continue to hire the most qualified candidates moving forward regardless of race/gender, etc.“
If that’s a true statement why were they specifically trying to get more candidates from a specific sup group to apply because they weren’t getting enough experienced/qualified candidates?
And in another example they stated they’d hired twice as many from group X then the overall percentage. That doesn’t happen by accident.
They’ve admitted seeking out and hiring, at least in the last, in ways that wouldn’t occur randomly.
And kids of pilots do tend to get a leg up when it comes to getting hired. But even highly regarded employees have had their kid not get hired. So there’s no guarantee. When it comes to the interview process you stand alone.

Almost NO entity hires only the most qualified candidates moving forward. There are so many other variables in play.

Ever do any union or flight department stuff? What? When?
Ten+ years of applying sounds great until you realize that includes a lot of years when no one was hiring.

Where's the hustle? Anybody can show up to work and fly.. what sets you apart?
Not criticizing you at all. I commend you on 22,000hrs of safe experience. I'm just trying to give you an idea of what they're looking for.

On a jumpseat on day; Captain was a young minority, FO was white, middle aged, male. The entire flight, it was the F.O without any PIC, degree, (stuff which the captain had) who complained about not being at the big 3 and Southwest.

I don't get the no degree mentality. If 99.99% of the people being hired have a degree, you go get a degree.
