They are hiring on personality. Someone who honestly thinks they are at a disadvantage because they are not a woman or minority probably has some character flaws that will be weeded out during the hiring process.

Great idea! Go work for an ULCC for a fraction of the wages because you aren't making enough at your regional.

I never thought about that. What type of personality are they looking for? Shouldn't knowledge, skill and good judgenent be enough... What kind of personality do you need to operate a landing gear and work the radios...

I'm a 2000 hr regional guy. Is it a good time to go to vets in blue or should I wait and get some more hours?
