Not such a bad thing if they live in base. And still much better than years gone by

Take two pilots, one white male, the other a female. Same flight times, ratings, education, training records, background, basically all things being equal.
Send both of their apps into the majors, and my money is on the female to get an interview and be hired first. I'm not saying the male wouldn't be hired also or eventually, but if they're vying for one spot, it's not even a contest.
Who would you put your money on?

So what? You have a long road ahead of you, and you’re worrying about this crap? You have far more obstacles ahead of you then a few female pilots that might get an offer at United. You are MUCH more likely to be affected by checkrides, networking, recessions, etc. The amount of time you’ve spent dwelling on minority hiring at the airlines is ridiculous.
Dwelling? Telling the history of preferential hiring at the majors is now "dwelling"? Once again, mind you your own damn business, not mine.

This here is the truth.
Just like when I was an FE and the new female FO was bragging about her upcoming interview with old United, while flying with a great CA who was a former B-52 commander who couldn't get an interview with them. Tell me, who was more qualified and deserved the job?
He told me when she was doing a preflight, "If she rubs that damn United interview in my face again, please stop me from choking her." Lol

Do the math...7% of the UAL pilot group are females. That’s it. Not very many women take your job.
