The first group could go to any major. The second group is definitely Delta! They don't care about your aviation qualifications. All they care about is how big a bleeding heart you are.

Females make up 50% of the population, but significantly less of the pilot workforce. Probably <5%. Do these "discrimination" laws not consider that glaring discrepancy? I figure the amount of females hired only for their gender is negligible, so I'm not losing sleep over it, but if there is such a regulatory policy it ought to factor in the preexisting demographical makeup of a particular career field.

US Airways system was by far the most fair. If you met their quals you were put into a pool and then numbers were randomly drawn out to pick those called.
UAL is still hiring females out of sequence, I've seen it first hand. There is a whole contingent of ladies over there that sued to pass the upgrade and when UAL conceded, they are paired with check airman for life. Sad but UAL upper, upper management doesn't care.
That being said, TT and years on the job doesn't make one more qualified over the other just like sex doesn't make one more qualified over the other.

Because there are so many white males, lots of white males don't "make it", so they assume the reason they don't make it is because they are white males. If cockpits were made up of something other than predominately white males, this all might mean something...
