It would be nice if they put their money where their mouth is. How about reaching out to disadvantaged minority youths, fund them through college and flight training. Both huge $$$ barriers to enter this industry. The measly scholarships they offer are a joke.

"Our flight deck should reflect the diverse group of people on board our planes every day. That’s why we plan for 50% of the 5,000 pilots we train in the next decade to be women or people of color"
Well better start finding more women or "people of color," or back to hiring more wonder bread

Also, I don't know where you got that quote, but 5K newhires in the next decade is pretty darned low considering that we'll probably hire more than 2K newhires in 2021/2022. And retirements are just starting to crank up.

Nobody said it was total new hires; this is your aviate program
Maybe I’ll join here for a scholarship

I got the quote straight from the woke company’s mouth

Awesome. And the Easter Bunny, Santa, and the Tooth Fairy are also real.

Deceit by omission, as you call it, would also be what your company is doing; taking a victory lap for diversity hiring at 50% while hiding it under the Aviate banner, which nobody knows what it is or that it isn’t general hiring. Probably why the announcement has received so much backlash. Woke nation

How would anyone know you were referring to the Aviate program with this post? You didn’t source it till a later post.
I don’t think Andy is defending or bragging about United’s hiring at all either. What are you arguing with him for?

Maybe I'm just an old "salty dog", yet I just don't understand this mentality. Why should they fund anyone? I funded myself......its called student loans (that I FINALLY paid off only 5 years ago). Are loans not available to these so-called "disadvantaged"? Please enlighten me.....I actually truly want to know!

The LOA that “screwed the bottom 1/3”? I don’t see how keeping thousands of pilots employed and (with Government aid) FULL paychecks with the exception of ONE month screwed them? ( I learned that I can live off 35 hours of pay and still be comfortable - family of 6) My financial situation is clearly different than others.
Stop the #UnitedHate…I always smile and wave to you guys in BWI while trying not to get jacked walking by your passengers…
