I only proved (with your help by way of your response) that you see everything in the prism of race and injustice. Your example of “legacy” programs are rooted in nepotism not racism. I said I don’t agree with legacy programs either, because they are inherently unfair but not because of the reasons you suggest! Everyone being considered for a spot at a university or a class date or whatever should be judged on qualifications and achievement not on the color of skin NOR family connection. Both are equally abhorrent.

Trying to look in the macro here. I don’t think it’s about the 2,500 people that have to be not a white dude. It’s more about 20 years from now another kid seeing an African American woman as a captain. Filling a racial quota today will lead to a more uniform and fair pool in the future because small kids will see people who look like them up front and then be inspired. It doesn’t have to be a binary argument. Yes, it’s a little dystopian on the surface but it’s not about now, it’s really for 15-25 years from now. It’s about the small girl seeing a female captain and realizing that being an airline captain is an option.

Just saying. Some people in certain minorities don’t even think flying is an option for them. If they see it’s an option for them they will then work hard for their goals without assistance from programs like this.

Beyond that, your views are Orwellian and Marxist and it scares me that there are pilots like you who support this radicalism.
