Yes they did. Heard it from the horses mouth in the crew room. I threw up in my mouth a little bit.

Haha did you tell her you feel she owes to you to sit reserve? Maybe it might change her mind.

We all know how it goes. XX chromosomes = class date at a major.

I was told by a Delta female pilot that there is no discrimination or preferential treatment with airline hiring. You're wrong.

With all the **** I saw them put up with when I was in college and flight training, I’d still prefer to be a guy even if a hiring advantage exists.

Yes, white males are so underprivileged in the aviation community.
