Interesting how an RJ FO thinks he has room to talk!

A couple of months ago here at EK, I flew with a 22 year old copilot on the 777. Man, I have shoes that old.

What are you smokin'?! Do you honestly think that a white male 25 year old FO with no pic could ever be in the first 30 people hired at Delta Air Lines after a 6 year hiring hiatus?! Get Real! I welcome her with open arms (no pun intended) and think she'll do fine in the long run but lets cut the crap! Please!! The 1% at DAL that I know are sharp and are where they are because they are top notch. My UAL friends tell me a very different story. Oh.. and by the way, if she looks like L'il J. Seinfeld's avatar then i don't give a rats A** what her logbook says.... SHE'S HIRED!!!!

That is the BEST POST I have read in a while....

YES! If he has the right connections and if you think I am wrong, you need to face reality and give up the b.s.

The reality is that at least in this new hiring cycle the only people that have been hired at DAL that are under 29 have an acute lack of penis. FACT. I have the list. (maybe one 28 year old exception) In thirty years the top 4 to 5 pilots on the DAL list will be women and will be at that lofty post for 5-6 years or so. By the way I DON'T CARE!!!!! I just get ****ed at people who never let the FACTS get in the way of a good argument. They're junior to me anyway I'll retire with a single digit seniority number so i assure you it doesn't bother me. I'm sure they're good folks and they'll make DAL proud. Your going to vote for Hilary aren't you.... i can feel it.

Don't sweat it puppy, read on......

SAABaroowski actually makes some very good post, even though said quotes indicate otherwise.

SAABaroowski, EVERY intelligent person in the world should be able to agree that yes, affirmative action is not fair. We are in agreement. Now, if you don't mind listening to someone who you might perceive as a beneficiary of AA, I'd like to explain why your statement, although correct, is not complete. FAIR is BullSH!T. Once you can accept this, you are more than 90% there. AA was created to level the playing field or right some of the wrongs that were perpetrated by people who are long gone from this board and for the most part, from society today. WASP males enjoyed a vast advantage over women or people with color, for about 400 years in America and 2,000 years in the 10,000 years of human, so called "civilization". Truth of the matter is, life has never and will never be fair. Your best chance at achieving fair is to live a long time, realize that you don't have monopoly on truth and try to learn something everyday. If you do that, chances are your children will have a brighter future than you. As a young white male, assumption "ski", you don't face nearly as many intrinsic obstacles, specifically in aviation, as a non-"ski"s, unless you aspire to be a rapper or professional athlete. Not saying that life as a "ski" is easy, I'm sure you worked very hard to be where you are. You seem to be an "articulate" pilot aspirant. Based on your post, I'd hire you, I do that in the military. Women and minorities encompass less than 2% of the industry and less than 10% of new-hires. If HR decides that they need to hire 20% minorities, unlikely but, there is nothing you can do about that. What you do need to worry about is not being that white-dude who is the ninth out of ten, because, unfortunately, a non-white male and a white female have those other two slots on lock. That's terrible for Messrs 9 and 10 white. But it's probably more unfair for #2 non-white and female, because they'll get the same rejection letter as 9 and 10. Who was the most qualified? I'm humble enough to say that we'll never know. I think that if you stay above # 7, you won't have a problem. I a little time, providing you're not in the lowest 20%, you could have some input. If it's @ CAL, I'll be glad to hire the most qualified applicants with you. I know tons of #2's that I'd love to get jobs, but that's not the world we live in, is it? My advice, be the best you can be, and let #7"ski" worry about A/A. Based on your post, I think you're well above #7. Godspeed!

No, as much as it would be "cool" to see a female president, I will not vote for that bleeding heart liberal democrat.
