Edit- not true. Dumber still is the idea that white men are at a disadvantage in aviation careers

To change the filter and muddy the waters by substituting race for economic status in the analysis is a travesty.

My point is that even in the most extreme cases, we are talking about a dozen more women at one company than one would expect. Yet somehow, those few women are preventing hundreds of men on this site from getting hired at a major.

Just as dumb as denying that other than white men DON’T have an advantage in the app score/selection/algorithm process.
