Of course they do, that's why the chicks, gays, and blacks all have their own groups. It's a special interest to help their people get hired.

But sure, woe is you.


That's because there are more white males applying. But....the women and minorities get the interviews first.

Ouch. Well the reality is at those career fairs, 90% of those who show up are male, straight, and white.

Yea I had an easy ride to getting hired. Barely qualified with thousands of hours, TPIC, multiple types, company instructor, and board member of non profit organization along with years of showing face at job fairs. Completely under qualified compared to my class mates. (sarcasm for those who don’t pick it up)

I know plenty of minorities still getting overlooked. Doesn’t seem all that easy for them lately.

In the middle ages they put the chicks in the DC-8 sim and pulled two engines the results were predictible. Emily at F9 got to bypass the CV-580 for that reason..

Exactly, when I go to the airport or look at the pilot rosters, it is all brown and black chicks!

Oh wait, I haven't seen any. But yeah, it must be dem females and minorities stealing our jerbs.

Don't fall prey to the scapegoating. I'm not sure any of us would want to trade places with a black guy in America.

Pretty sure the point trying to be conveyed here is that if you took two low time, low experience pilots, one Caucasian male the other a minority or female, the minority or female would have better odds of an interview.

No one is talking about stealing jobs etc. I’m a white male, I feel no guilt or shame because of it so quit jamming this bs down my throat.

What you see at the airport is 40 years of ancient history, preserved in amber by the seniority system. The actual results experienced by those applying for jobs today are quite different.

Also the pool of available candidates has it's roots in grade school... who was interested in aviation. The fact that young white guys have a cultural affinity for airplanes determines the demographics of the pilot pool.

The issue then becomes how do you select from the pool of QUALIFIED candidates most of whom are white men. Not because other people can't be qualified, but they choose to do other things in life.
