Yes! Of course!

One need only to look at the street hires who went from Envoy to AA ahead of the flow. Half the airline applied to AA through the front door. There may be one or two, but I don't know a single black or female pilot who applied to AA from Envoy who was not hired off the street, but I can think of almost twenty who were. I know several white males who were hired too but every single one of them were AA interns before flying for Eagle/Envoy.

This is just the way things are these days and it's not only the airlines.

You ever consider companies might find it harder to train a guy with a gazillion hours?

Lots of young White FO's get hired before older high time captains.

Yet, it is up to the gazillion hour captain to teach the F.O how to land with a 20knot crosswind.

How can it be that I see all these young white FOs around LAX, DFW and MIA Ops? I thought us minorities were taking all of their jobs?

I know, i was being sarcastic. Trying to keep with the white male oppression narrative throughout this thread.
