Do you even know what you are talking about? I went through newhire training 6 months ago, and there wasn't a single "foreign" guy in any of the training classes. If you want to be racist, then yes, there were black/Indian/latino guys, but they all spoke normal English. I haven't really seen many foreign guys in any of our bases, and I'm guessing this might be because MSP/DTW/MEM are kind of in the middle of the USA. Why don't you bid Memphis highspeeds if you want to only be around your "type" of people.

The ironic part is you probably deal with foreigners every day, and don't realize it because they are excellent FO's who's english is as good as yours.

Don't worry. By that time age 75 will pass and you'll be OK for a job.

Hehe, that's cute. when i was a new hire, we had 3 women, 2 blacks, and 35 pale males. But that class might have been an freak of nature.

Flynavyj your class was even better than mine. We had 1 black, 1 female and 2 asian's.

I can't believe how far this profession has fallen with some of the ignorant comments I've seen on this thread. I'm sure if we could actually see who we were talking to on the radio, some of you guys/gals with less than intelligent comments would realize how wrong you are about your assumptions...
