Don't let flydc comments scare you away.

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

I've started wondering if Diversity isn't just code for "non-white" and Inclusions isn't just got for "non-straight".

There is a concept called "virtue signaling". Basically people or organizations jumping over themselves to show everyone how "great" they are at something. The funniest example was i think it was pepsi that spent a few million on a superbowl ad to show everyone they donated 100k in water.

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

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.
