[QUOTE=Mudge;3218946]I'll take your bait.

If someone votes for today's liberal party, then statistically there is a greater chance they are of the handout mindset. Or of the mindset that every tax paying citizen should give handouts based upon their liberal belief. In terms of hiring quotas, preference is already based upon experience and professional metrics. Altering that to include anything but is just another handout.

and do you have factual statistics of this or is this your perception? This is pure ignorance without some data.

 

Why wouldn’t they? Not enough role models on billboards, TV commercials, Hollywood films? If I didn’t know any better, these depictions would make me believe there are no white males on flight decks. Seen the Air Force chief of staff?...the “navy ace“ female that saved the day when the engine shelled out at Southwest? If minorities and women aren’t seeing it, they must be living under a rock

My ‘white privilege’ involved a GED, bus ticket from a rough neighborhood to boot camp. College and flight training via G.I. Bill. Same route any one of my underprivileged enlisted brothers and sisters could have pursued, but chose not to.

Sat on flight decks for decades talking to minorities/females, many of which came from Upper middle class upbringings, attended /recruited to prestigious schools, flight schools and service academies, only to then get invitations to preferential hiring seminars and receive scholarships via OBAP, WIA, 99s, etc, and proceed straight to the front of the hiring line at every major airline that competed for their “representation”. I did not resent them for their opportunities, but wished I too could’ve got to the majors 5- 10 years sooner.

To say that enough has not been done to attract females and minorities is simply not true. There have been role models for decades, Civilian, military, bending over backwards to attract them. The field has not only been leveled, it tilts heavily in their favor.

Enough with the excuses. It all boils down to choices, and perhaps we should start to accept the evidence that maybe they don’t want this lifestyle or what it takes to get here.

About halfway down. People making less than $30K per year vote liberal by a margin of 2 to 1.

But I guess it's just my ignorance with those silly facts to back it up.

 

Wow! This guy wears his hat in the van for sure.

 

The pandering won’t stop. It’s going to get worse. So much for the “no special treatment” argument.... Meanwhile, Captains who’ve been at the company for 30+ years retired early last year after being enticed to do so to protect the younger folks from being furloughed. They retired without so much as a wink. Certainly, no water cannon salute.

 

You’d be making better use of your time reciting Cardi-B lyrics (are those lyrics?) than texting your friends about what people say on any anonymous internet forum.

 

Being conservative isn't a race.. with that kind of intelligence I have no clue how you passed ground

 

If shyguy supports it you know it's wrong miss the days when you were mia

 

So leave noone needs an outsider

 

That 2020 vote in California was specifically to repeal Prop 209 which was abolished Affirmative Action in the state in 1996. California has long-established opposition to the idea spanning three decades.
