Our company is too PC. That is if you are a WASP then you are a target. Not everyone here is buying into PC stuff that is being pushed our way. Yet people are still treated with respect and allowed to do the job that they are qualified to do.
Don't let flydc comments scare you away.

Supporting diversity brings income to the company...

Sounds very sanctimonious to me.
They’re an airline.

Have you used an app review service? I know it sounds cheeky but I found it to be VERY useful.

Yes, there are services out there that you can contact. The fact that you are asking the questions suggests to me that you have not done your due diligence to ensure a tight package.

It suggests I do my own diligence, not that I’m infallible.

If they don’t want me they don’t want me. Maybe there is something they see they don’t like. I have never had a problem getting hired anywhere I wanted in the past, so whatever it is I’m unaware.

I haven’t. Sounds like I may need to though. Then again, it sounds like I’m threading a needle in a rainstorm, so it may not matter.

Any suggestions on one?

Spot on. Reverse discrimination was my first thought. Virtue signaling a close second. It’s getting rather silly at this point. Like the other guy said, can’t we just fly airplanes and look out for one another?

Actually, it turns people off. Try supporting excellence instead.

Thanks, man.

Sounds like I don’t have what they want. That’s fine. I make a buck fifty without working too too much. I should just enjoy the flowers for now and see how it plays out.
