No, I'd be surprised if they were concerned about the lack of an old wooden ship on here...

You're not Ron?

I've seen the full African American crew at Trans States, but they weren't women. Well, one person was, but the other two, were definitely men, manly men, men in tights.

If I was a black woman I sure as heck would be in aviation. Seems like there is a lot more opportunity out there for someone who is a minority (squared) than the average white male fighting for the same nut.

And for those who think the above statement is racist, get over it!

Did that really make the news? They don't deserve any more congratulations than you or I...I'm going to go pat myself on the back now for being part of an all white-male crew flying into ORD today

For a country that is in bed with equality, we sure the heck make a big deal out of "news" like this...

Do we still need to be bent out of shape by something that our grandparents did? I'm all about equality...and if they deserve a news story, why don't you or I? Don't misconstrue my words -- you're missing the point!

Humans are tribalistic by nature. We naturally seek others like ourselves. When you walk into a cafeteria, library, or any other place large groups gather you will notice that whites sit with whites, asians with other asians, blacks with black, etc.
