That's a delusion.

There actually was. He just wasn't in a staring role.

Was he so far from being in a starring role that he didn't make it on camera at all?

If you can organize the white American male aviation group, get tens of thousands of paid members then you too can create a job fair. Until then shut up and go to the ones that the gays, blacks and women are willing to pay to organize.
Jesus himself couldn’t organize the white American male aviation group! Could you imagine the snowflakes on here and everywhere calling them hitlers, white privileged, racists and such.
In today’s world that’s never going to happen, so can we shut down these other discrimitory groups and just hire the most qualified? Is that so hard to do? Apparently it is and it’s very sad.

Did you even read any of my posts? You want to shut down the groups that offer outreach to youth that are traditionally hard to reach. And who said anything about organizing the "white male" aviation group? The person you quoted talked about an "everyone" affair, but that isn't white and male enough for you I guess. Wow. In your case, I think the snowflakes would have a point with whatever it is you're trying to organize.

Again I have said this before look at our class pictures every month. The White Male is very well represented probably 98% in every class is a white male. So everyone on here whining about the plight of the white man at Ual can all sleep easy.

I read your post again, as you suggested. I stand by my previous reply.

I don’t see one person arguing about the “white man”!
If some on here would be less emotionally charged and more factual you would see that others on here are arguing the fact that why do we have to put people in classes? Isn’t that in of itself discriminatory? Whether it be sexual, gender or race to get a dam job. These so called groups are too segmented and biased. It’s ridiculous! You should get hired based on your qualification and skills. I don’t care who I’m flying with, what color they are, who they go to bed with, or what gender they are. I just want them to be qualified to do their job!
I’m sure the public sitting behind the cockpit door would agree!
