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.

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.

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.

...and thus proving the fact that the millineals very much do not have the market in entitlement cornered.

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

So, where are the data to support your complaints of anti-white-male bias?

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.

As interesting as Delta’s handling and hiring of minority or majority candidates is.

When does this go back to being TOTD?

It never stopped being that. The only difference is the TOTDs have been self reporting.
