Your graph only proves what I said about United.

According to that graph, female pilots are overrepresented by 2.2 percentage points from the norm.

Like I said earlier, it's not as bad as it was in the late 90's after the lawsuit.

The vast majority of female pilots are competent and safe pilots and I've flown with several of them.

I'm tired of the bull$hit on here by some who feel the need to attack instead of debate.

You don't attack people, you debate. I debate. These asses like him just insult. I'm not thin skinned, I just hate this $hit and won't stand for it.

Gonna have a nice little vacay after those posts....

And females aren’t taking anyone’s jobs. Period. They are taking their own jobs. I’d argue, based on personal observations only, that certain demographics get hired at lower qualification levels than others. Which, if you read my previous post, is something you can do all of nothing about. Make yourself marketable. Don’t make yourself that guy who seems racist and a misogynist and blames outside forces he can’t control the reason for not succeeding and then exploding on forums and using prohibited profanity to make his points and defend his previously mentioned prejudices... cause you’re kinda headed that way. Reel it in a touch.

If females make up 5.18% of pilots, and 7.2% of United pilots are female, what does that mean?

Do the math or look up the word overrepresented.

I never said any woman took my job at United. I've never applied to United since I don't meet their hiring standards. The story I was relating really happened and this was in 1997. Like I said, things have changed since then. I'm not complaining about preferential hiring today, so no need to get your panties in a wad.

Very good advice that would serve you well, Flyboy. Maybe take some of that time it’s taken you to post over 600 times in a few months and find a volunteer opportunity that you don’t have time to do. Just a thought.

Like I said, I've had enough of the personal attacks by you smart asses. If you can't give honest advice or constructive criticism instead of personal attacks, then f-off.

We were having a nice civil discussion before you stuck your big nose in it.

Don't bother answering, just get lost. No one wants to hear your bull$hit.

BTW, is "entitled" the only big word you idiots know, and do you know the definition of the word? Because y'all continue to use it incorrectly. How about you snowflakes find a new word to add to your vocabulary.
Drunk posting is bad, m’kay? Also, probably not a great idea to have a drunken, sexist rant when you’re still a newbie trying to start his career.

I haven't complained about minority hiring. Please quote where I have.

I simply stated facts about the United lawsuit and the aftermath. I don't care what sex, race, religion, sexual preference, or nationality a pilot is as long as they're safe and competent. End of story.

As far as getting banned, I don't care anymore. I've gotten 3 demerits in the past month, and every single one was for telling someone off AFTER they insulted or attacked me personally. I feel like the football player who gets punched in the gut while the ref isn't looking, and when I strike back he just see's me hitting the assailant. If you're going to punish me for it, punish the ass who started it also.

Maybe this place would be more civil and cordial if that happened.

Seriously, read my post history. I don't insult or attack people. I debate their views or opinions in a civil manner. If I inadvertently offend or insult someone, I'll apologize, but not these asses, they just double down.

Take care.

That young ladies like United uniforms more than they do those of Southwest? Or the color of the paint on the aircraft? The point is, nobody should care. Not THAT much certainly.

Relax. Let it go. Nobody HAS to be right every time on matters of religion, opinion, or politics. Save the obsessive compulsiveness and precision for flying the approach, identifying the runway, and making safe landings.

Let the other $#it go. Other people can honorably hold other opinions.
