In the next decade, the announced 50% goal seems to be almost unobtainable considering where we are starting from as of this week. And yet, that might be wholly intentional. For whatever reason, sooner or hopefully much later someone is not going to make it through the Aviate program or reach it to UAL. A lawsuit or several will probably result. If charged with discrimination UAL will have an excellent defense at the ready: "We sincerely wanted this disadvantaged pilot to make it through the program and help meet our publicly announced hiring target... but he/she just didn't meet our uncompromising performance standards." Seems like a good defense to me.


Now, give me time to step out of the way of any renewed mud slinging. I've got to keep my hat and jacket clean another week.

Todd goes along with it. He has his eyes on a desk in Willis or, HERNDON. (What a joke, but that's another thread)

Pilots on APC wax political and use all their big "woke" words in a fit of PC umbrage. Spittle and snot fly into space! Pilots forget that all they do is fly the shiny machines.
