That's pretty cool. It's not everyday you see that. I'm proud of them!

I saw that same story on CNN last friday. Pretty soon, they are gonna let woman vote.

All four seem like very nice and modest people. Congrats to them for making history.

The Captain is one of only 10 black women captains in the country... that's a pretty amazing accomplishment for her.

Yeah, I thought that it was nice and responsible journalism on CNN's part for airing such a story. All to often we just get the negative view sometimes of African Americans.

I gotta tip my hat to ASA. Second time that I'm aware of in less than a year that an all African-American crew has operated one their aircraft. I'm sure other airlines have had it happen, but not at the frequency of ASA.

I guess that's one reason why they're at the top of my list to hope to fly for....actualizing the opportunity.

Wait a second, where is the diversity here? I thought everyone was all about "diversity?"

i could be wrong, but i believe diversity is an old, old wooden ship used during the civil war era.
