Um, yeah.......and 90-95% that APPLY are white males. TOTD......anyone who still doesn’t acknowledge that minorities and females receive preferential hiring at airlines QUITE FREQUENTLY.

Actually, some women and minorities might have been the (gasp) most qualified applicants from time to time! The only preferential hiring goes to those who work to make themselves stand out positively.

Not having a vagina or some darker skin (but, in the not too distant past, those last two things sure would PREVENT you from being hired!)

Been to Charlottesville recently?

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.

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.
