I’m tired of supporting airlines while they record record profits and give jobs to those less qualified because the candidate is an aviation minority (non white male or female.). At my last job (Skywest) I flew with awesome white guys at 30 years old with 5k pic in 121, degree no black marks, and all that. Nothing. Crickets. But Manuella Ramirez who just got off IOE and has 1600 hours, HIRED! I’m Latino but only applied at one of the legacies because I don’t want to work anywhere else. I left my regional because I didn’t want to commute, thus I’m getting a confirmed ticket at my ACMI. Life is a zillion times better. Rant over.

“I hope 300,000 at UA DL & AA lose their jobs because they don’t hire me or my friends and hire too many minorities.”

Did I get that right?

No. We have been told.

Bingo. Agreed.

Sadly most of the regional force is too old now. They won’t accept.

I mean, I fly at an AA WO and I'd say at least half the CAs I've flown with in the past couple months have been women or minorities, a lot of them with 4-6k hours, some of them with thousands of hours overseas on wide bodies, and they haven't gotten any calls. Not sure if they had any black marks, but I had no problems flying with any of them on 4-day trips in the crowded northeast airspace with typical terrible weather, delays, diverts, etc.

Also, I think the airlines need to be bailed out, but with a lot of strings attached. Keep in mind the airline bailout in 2001 was $15B and the one being proposed today is $50B. If that money goes to keeping pilots, FAs, gate agents, mechanics, operations, etc employed through this tough time, then it's totally worth it. But without proper oversight, they'll just fire/furlough everyone to maximize profit, and because this is such a competitive industry, any airlines that "do the right thing" will lose market share and suffer consequences. Capitalism is great, but without the government to make fair rules and properly referee the game, companies HAVE to do cut-throat stuff to survive.
