Ok, so if you have two applicants, one white male,a woman or minority with the same qualifications and no negative problems against them who do you think is getting hired, give me a break. This is more of a situation when the airlines are "extremely picky" when limited hiring is occuring like now. I mean does anyone else agree with me?

To expand the point... I was discouraged from applying to NWA. In the late 90's I heard from many people that NWA didn't like fighter guys. I think that was one of the generally accepted rumors at the time. Also, I didn't know a single person that worked there. Turns out, NWA was the only call I got. Glad I didn't listen to the rumor.
I'll be amazed if there is ever a new hire class at Delta where white males are under-represented.

Their asking you about sick calls is questionable at best. Sure they make you sign a waiver but legally it is questionable. The majority of pilots are professional and honest when it comes to that. Sometimes you just get sick a lot in one year. Unfortunately there are a few Dbags out there who abuse the system and ruin it for everyone else ( i.e waiting until the moment an occurance comes off the record than immediately calling in sick again). These are the same dbags that never have any available sick time when they are really sick so they get everyone else sick because they are selfish pricks. IMO they shouldn't be allowed to ask about it at all.

Speakman doesn't 85% of the interview looking at my logbook to see if I worked, missed, or could bid off holidays. He could tell when I worked, or was obviously senior enough to bid off holidays. I didn't really care and I had my official company attendance record with me, when they ask how myattendance was at work. They ddidn't even want to see it.

And what I mentioned in my earlier post about the hiring selection isn't too far from the truth.

Even when presented with facts to the contrary, you hold onto your belief due to some emotional need. I'm not particularly surprised given your attitude, but it is sad seeing someone choose misery and contempt.
