Differentiate yourself by your accomplishments and credentials not by selling out your fellow pilots. Look at Loons previous posts and you'll see he'll be perfectly at home as a NURP.

From his continued posts, I would imagine that if management figures out who he is, he will be getting a call for that position which he is "evaluating" so carefully.
I'm sorry that you guys have to deal with those people who are attracted to those positions, in the cockpit.

But don't be under the illusion that white males who don't have family ties aren't going to get called. The reality is, probably at least 90% of the people who are getting called are in that category. There just aren't enough minorities and people with family ties out there to compete with.
Reminds me of when I got hired by FedEx, I was talking to a friend's wife, who was complaining that her husband couldn't get an interview because of all those women and minorities they were hiring. My response, "Yeah, must be tough competing for those 95% white guy slots!"

You guys trying to reason with this guy is getting old. Obviously in his mind he thinks he is qualified to give me and 2500 of my peers senior to me a checkride. True management material here, stand back, we are all in good hands now! Good luck and I personally hope you get the job and steer clear of anything to do with the IPA!
