Be humble and answer every question by owning up to mistakes and explaining what you learned, will go a long way. I too was asked if I really only hooked one ride in UPT...I laughed and said I was a great negotiator in the debrief. I then explained my hook it tweets and how I fixed it.
I actually couldn't agree more. My AAL interview was infinitely more fun/relaxed and less stressful than my DAL interview...two totally different styles of interview. If I had chosen which airline to go to based simply on the interview, I'd still be at AAL. It is what it is, but I can assure you that DALs interview structure is nowhere near a reflection of the culture on the line.

After reading this thread, I’m totally woke!! I can’t believe that the big D is so discriminatory against poor white dudes. Even though I’ve literally NEVER seen anything other than ancient white dudes on the flight deck of any flight I’ve ever jumpseated or deadheaded on. Maybe we should start a go fund me or something for all the poor white dudes that are being treated so harshly by society. 🙄🙄

It got real quiet in here when I asked people for any real evidence of an anti-white-male bias in pilot hiring. Strange how firmly some people believe in things without evidence.

These kind of people don't believe in data or facts. They only believe anecdotal stories that fit their view. You can't get through to them at all, so we might as well stop trying.

Use that 3.8 high school GPA that got you hired at Delta to figure out that data and statistics in a vacuum can be manipulated to support any side you want.

lol, you provided no more "data and facts" then anybody else. Any data provided thus far has not been cited. On top of that, 94% if it is true is meaningless unless we put that up against the percentage of applicants. If the applicants were 97% white male, then guess what, they may have been discriminated against.

How about those military statistics you were faced with? Always an excuse...

If we assume that WAI has a handle on the number of female commercial pilots at a hair over 5%, and we know that women are likely more well-represented at the younger end of the spectrum, I don’t see any room for anti-male bias in those numbers.
But if you have any corrected numbers with a source, feel free to post it.
