At bare minimum, a specific quote, copy and paste, that one could google. Sincerely doubt aa listed it as, "72% white guys in 2017. 11% women, 17% minorities." And how many of the hires were from flow, not just off the street?
I don’t think most people want to post something off an internal company website. If you work here use your login and find out for yourself.

And AA listed it exactly like that. Percentages and everything. Pie charts too.

Actually - the information is useful - just you don't like it because it's not in the perfect format you want. Get hired by AA, and convince them to spend money doing all the breakdowns and definitions you want.

Seriously, people are being helpful here and folks are like that is not useful? Actually, it is useful, it gives a feel for what aa is saying about this.

LMFAO. If you can’t achieve success here then you’ll never achieve it anywhere. Spare us the BS and keep it at least within eyesight of reality, please. America was built for anyone to succeed. If it weren’t you wouldn’t be posting on this site.


American-born blacks may have a problem with success because a significant percentage of them have been conditioned to be a bunch of bitter, whining, excuse-making crybabies—and like crabs in a barrel they attack those who try to climb out. Why work hard when it’s easier to whine? Bring someone here from a place like Nigeria and they rocket to the top—despite American blacks having their own head start. Triumph of the uncluttered mind.

Everyone has challenges. Trading one type of discrimination for another is just as immoral as the original crime. In the end America is the land of opportunity for anyone of any color. I dare you to show me a nation where blacks have more opportunity than here—even those run by blacks.

GTFO.

And yes, being a minority gives you a leg up over an equally-qualified (and sometimes better-qualified) non-minority candidate. We see this repeatedly. It’s just as wrong as the reverse no matter how you slice it.

Whatever. That’s neither here nor there in my case, I’m sure. I’ll keep plugging away and wind up where I wind up with a smile on my face, thanking God every day along the way for making me an American. Having lived in lots of other places, there’s nowhere I’d rather be than here.

There is a reason you are on the outside looking in. Looks like AA Pilot Recruitment is doing a great job of weeding out potentially bad apples.

Yeah. I’m “average”. (Eyeroll)

I’m also right, so kindly KMA (and take your virtue signaling, America hating, false superiority and jam it). I am glad I don’t have to suffer working with tools like you. If buying into your regressive nonsense and excuse making is what it takes to get on at AA then forget it.

I make $150K a year flying less in that time than you do in a month. I’m not on the “outside looking in” by any definition. You can keep your lifestyle. I’ve got it made where I am. Thanks for reminding me.

(And thanks to all who actually contributed something of substance here. It is appreciated.)
