Today, UAL is the highest employer of female pilots in all of the entire airline business.
I don't see UAL getting sued again with stats like that. Simply having HR observe would be a better way forward.
I will say this. It doesn't inspire confidence in the process when I see a very junior co-pilot "brag" as how he is involved in the hiring process, and how he credits the NGPA for helping land him the job. After hearing that story, I lost confidence in the process after hearing his story.
I would prefer seasoned Captains. They know what kind of pilots we're looking for. We trust them to do probationary pilot reports, we trust them with the entire operation. I would trust them for this as well.

For all those screaming about favoritism with minorities getting hired just look and our class pictures out of 40 students maybe 2-3 are women and minorities. The white guy is well represented and safe. Get over yourselves.

Not sure what your exposure to new hires is, but I always ask the guys I fly with (gotta pass word to the bros still waiting to get hired) and they’re generally happy with the product, but with some good stories of exceptions.
Data current as of two years ago.

The issue becomes when one recommends an extraordinary applicant and they receive absolutely zero attention. Let the senior dudes and dudettes vet him, but let the line employees have the ability to put the application in front of someone who can make a decision. I appreciate the M&G process, but it hasn’t yielded anything for the few I know who’ve done it, all of which have excellent resumes.
