But oh my god that is politically wrong! We shouldn't segregate ourselves like that...As a Pilot, it should be punishable by death that I want to seek out other Pilots to chat with.

Come on guys...

Oh this thread is going down the drain quick:(... instead of ranting, how about we just congratulate if you feel it warranted. If not any comments like "how about congrats for an all white crew" will be misconstrued and arguments will be started.

Experimental I'm not picking on you just making a point

This reminds me of Skinner's speech on the Simpsons:

Principal Skinner [phonily]: Am I wearing women's clothes? I didn't notice. When I look in my closet, I don't see male clothes or female clothes, they're all the same.

Edna Krabappel [arms crossed]: Are you saying that men and women are identical?

Skinner: Oh, no, of course not! Women are unique in every way.

Lindsay Nagel [arms crossed]: Now he's saying women and men aren't equal!

Skinner [getting nervous]: No, no, no! It's the differences...of which there are none, that make the sameness...exceptional! [desperately] Just tell me what to say!

[Skinner hyperventilates and faints]

I totally agree, I don’t really want the mods to close down this thread, it’s just that threads like this makes me nervous.

I'm probably wrong, and if I am, apologies.

But I don't know if this is the FIRST crew to fall into this gender/race demographic.

I believe it may have happened at a particular B-1900/EMB120 operator YEARS ago, on the B-1900 if I remember correctly. Whether or not that was the FIRST occurrence or not, I don't know.

But I don't think the people behind this article can make the claim.

Yeah, but I bet the dispatcher wasn't an African American female. Now that would be a story!
Seriously, this is not news in my opinion. An all white NBA basketball team since the fifties? That would be news.

Please just shut this one down. No good can come of this.......

thats kind of cool...

i am just curious how did that made the news???

I would rather this be in the news than all the negative articles about regional airlines. I guess pilots always have to complain about something...

Your absolutely right. You should and do have the right to mingle with who you want. Unfortunately, that wasn't always the case for every person in the United States. Parts of our society were forced to only mingle with themselves and didn't have the opportunities that others had.

As to your earlier post, I also don't feel that we should have to pay or be blamed for what not even my parents were involved in (and they are old:D). However, the minorities in our society are just beginning to experience life in a more free, less suppressive society. It is for this reason that I give all my support and congratulations to those that rise above the stereotypes still in our society and prove that all are created equal regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, religious beliefs, or political beliefs.
