I filled out a lot of applications and none asked about race or gender.

94% of those DL hired since 2014 have been white male with similar at the other top end carriers. You’re right, it’s so difficult being a white male in this industry.

What is the percentage of white male pilots? I’d guess higher then that. Hiring should be in the exact same percentages as the whole.

Don’t speak such normal. It’s not acceptable in 2019.

It's higher than that as a pilot group, but the demographics of those getting into the industry have diversified some.

Still... seriously arguing against 94%???

93% of those being white male military aviators. Delta doesn't count, all they do is hire military.

55-60% are civilian. Try again. I guess ignorance really isn't bliss.

My class, the first class post-2001, was 100% civilian.
