I have a problem with putting women and minorities in the position where their hard work, dedication and grit to succeed gets questioned on account of their skin color or sex.

I also have a problem with using skin color and sex as being any kind of a factor in hiring, especially for a safety-sensitive position. If you can’t see just how detrimental that is, or if you’re unable to differentiate between helping and coaching minorities and women to become competitive and establishing quotas.... I can’t help you.

So in your opinion if we dressed young boys in pink and gave them dolls they’d grow up to be nurses and if we dressed young girls in blue and gave them trucks they’d grow up to be pilots? Is that how this works?

How is all of this not blatant discrimination, they are opting to give preference to someone based on race, or sex. It really is as simple as that. If a lawsuit were filed how could this not be an open and shut case in 2 minutes?? It’s not anyone’s fault that this has primarily been a white male dominated industry. For the record, I do not oppose hiring of any individual group, but I do when it becomes at the expense of someone obviously more qualified based on their merit or experience.

another woke lib buzz word for racism... just say it like it is and stop w the b.s.!

Just wait for the large group of new hire women and minorities who sue United and Alpa for discrimination because of the seniority based system. Why shouldn't a new hire move right to the left seat of a wide body? I've seen such a law suit at another airline.
