I'm kicking myself so bad right now. This is what happens when you don't take the first upgrade available. I was on vacation when Virginia called me asking if I wanted the transitioning October since a spot openeded up. I declined thinking I'd get into the first class in November not realizing the 2 a month are for currently qual'd CRJ drivers not transitions like myself. Well no big deal I thought I'll just get into the 11/29 class and life will be all good.... Fast forward to today and yeah this stinks. The only reason I'm upset is that we're so highly overstaffed on the 175 in ORD where I'm based that there should be no reason we don't get to transition. My advice to those of you contemplating an upgrade or when to take a class is this. Take the first opportunity you get because you never know when one hiccup can happen.

I registered purely because I'm sick of the "woe is me I have a penis so I can't get hired" nonsense.
Here are the real numbers from united and delta: men are 92% and 93% of those hired at these two legacies since 2014 hiring resumed. Here's a shot straight from the ALPA magazine:
WAI says 6% of total pilots are women. Considering the aging of a more male-heavy legacy group, I think it would be hard to prove that women are currently being hired wildly outside of their proportion of regional pilots.

Fun information indeed. But how is it myth busting?

We still have many 175s coming online this year. I don't know what the training rate is but I'm guessing pre-training was required.
