Amen. If you run the numbers, us white men have a lot more competition from those of us in the same demographic than anyone else. Just look at the numbers.

If you figure Delta hired 1000 pilots last year, you can cut about half as being military because you just can't compete with that, period.

Now you have 500 people you're competing against for a job. Delta's own hiring stats say that 10 percent are females and another 5 percent are minorities. So you're competing against 85% other white males. How many of them have direct connections with recruiters/board members/chief pilots office? Either way you're left with approx 400 other pilots who have similar qualifications, similar experience, similar demographics. What are you doing/not doing to separate yourselves from them in either a positive or negative way?

Lol. Sorry son, spent a lot longer in this regional industry than you ever did. If you don't think certain characteristics give you a massive leg up, well..., You're a moron. I've moved on from CP, but I certainly wish you well at the DL interview with your entitled, snotty nosed attitude. No offense.

Didn't we just have an all employee call and there's one again tomorrow? Or do I have my timelines messed up?

Where do you draw the line? Helen Keller jokes? Dead baby jokes? I mean they are told with the intention of making someone laugh.



I've met the Compass pilot in the picture, he's a nice guy and I'm glad he's at his career airline. It does prove that if you are motivated, work hard and make the right connections you'll get to your dream job too.



All I'm suggesting is just like people are upset with the guy who went on a rant about how it's unfair, making certain jokes even if the intent is humor can be unprofessional.
