Exactly. What exactly is "reverse discrimination"? Either way it falls, it's still just discrimination. My suggestion to everyone is to get a sex change if it bothers you that much, get a job on the hiring board and hire the most qualified candidate only, or do your best and get the best job you can.

Unfortunately, in this industry VERY little distinguishes us from our peers. There is a LOT that bothers me...

So, what is AWAP exactly?

I think this thread could have been ended on page 1....

The answer is... yes its possible to get hired to mainline from the rightseat at a regional... but your chances are very very slim, and for those that did it has nothing to do with how much flight time you have.

This shortage that all flight schools are trying to shove down young aspiring pilots throats is not going to be what they're telling you. Yes there are big numbers retiring, but the majors are merging and then will be shrinking.

There will not be a shortage at the major level... keep in mind you are not just going up against US pilots for these jobs... The US and the US airlines make it very easy to come work here.

If this is the same lovely light skin-10 I saw jumpseating on usair outta jfk, then yes she does have looks, a little thick, but thats how us brothas like it.

Oh and btw I know a dude (a brotha')at continental, he worked at a fbo in cali knocked up a [white] chief pilots daughter and before that biracial baby even popped out he was studying 75 systems I think he had 1900tt 1200 in light turboprops... thats how you get it done! Its not about who you know, its about who knows you! And if hes reading this I greet you with a denzel washington "MY MAN!"*leans over crooked for a high five*

I'm strongly opposed to affirmative action, but as long as it's here you would be an idiot not to take advantage of it if you qualify. This is one of those hate the game, not the player kind of situations.

"MY MAN!"*leans over crooked for a high five*

The association of white airline pilots I'm guessing. A group to help caucasians with free type ratings, scholarships, and legal counsel.

They advertise on white entertainment television.

That's her, she commutes out of Charlotte. She loves her a big strong black man so good luck ma brotha!!!!!

Hmm...obviously this thread has gone a bit off-topic...;)

In theory, a great a idea. But the FIRST time you pass on a non-WM candidate becaus they're quals/resume weren't quite what the others were and the legal department is breathing down your neck going over EVERY comment made on your hiring/eval form, ehh, it's not so cut and dried.
