Lots of volunteer work (kittens especially), > 3.0 GPA from a well known school, networked every chance I could, no training failures.

This was several years ago.

The one from the welcome aboard video-who has a hat 3 sizes too large and looks like she's 12.....

Yeah- Confidence inspiring to see a tweenager in the pilot's chair.

Sounds about right. Had someone like this come from Compass. Well connected, FltOps intern, OBAP 737 scholarship winner.

If you are a member of a protected class, experience and skill do not matter, you go to the head of the line without passing go. I am a passenger, not a pilot and am scared every time I see protected class people in the flight deck. They most likely got there based on things other than experience or skill.

How would you "know" a protected class was in the cockpit unless your stereotyping anyone who doesn't look like most of us: Caucasian, some grey hair, balding, or wrinkles. Lol

I wonder if people make the same assumptions about you as they watch you build their Big Mac.

Careful Ron....he is highly experienced and skilled. He had to wait a long time at the back of the line for a position like that. You should see how he flips the patty (no onion mr. unprotected class)
