Thats actually brilliant.

I wonder what the one woman will say to the other when standing in the hallway 🤔

 

You guys sure are uptight. I didn't really care about the lyrics... Aside from "don't rush," they weren't all that clear anyway. I certainly didn't go Google them to go pick the song apart, line by line. But if that makes you happy, sure. What I noticed was, the song had a catchy beat that went with the very creative video. It was interesting and captured the idea of our colleagues dual lives at home and as United pilots. I especially liked the one where the lady appeared in uniform and kissed her daughters goodbye, the look on their faces reminds me of how my daughters look when I put mine on. I thought it was creative and interesting.


Lyrics nuts? I bet you'd explode if you heard an Eminem song. I'm sure your parents approved of all the music you listened to as an adolescent, right? Hopefully, my daughters will be able to hear a song like that while out and about and not be permanently corrupted... But, hey, you never know... right?

Seriously. A cute, creative video by our colleagues and you guys are fully "pitchforks out!" Kinda makes me glad we have an increasingly diverse pilot group, to be honest.

This is my point. People here are talking like the airline is dragging the bottom of the barrel to come up with minority admissions. The reality is, some of us may have gotten into flight training with impressive resumes, but most of us were just inexperienced kids with an interest in flying and maybe a little potential. Going through the training & the industry was the process that separated those of us who wanted it most or had a little more aptitude from those who didn't. We can talk all day long about whether or to what extent corporations should be involved in creating this type of social footprint, but the idea that the airline can't diversify its zero > career ready training pool a little bit without putting a bunch of smoking holes in the ground is pretty regressive & obtuse, in my opinion.

 

i think it's all just left up to HR. You know those super-pro's that have thousands of hours of flying...their desk.

They use the "situational interview" to judge talent.

Tell me about a time.....No, not in junior high. Now, tell me about a time...No, not in high school. Now, seriously tell me about a time....No, not in college. Like when you had a job. No, not about a time when you were waiting tables. Now, seriously, tell me about a time where you had to use leadership... No not at your frat house. How about a time where you had to communicate....No, not while you were umpiring a little league game. Now, seriously....

 

I also think you are missing the point that Aviate will require an application and whatever objective criteria that application will have will somehow have a stated goal of producing 50% minority/female pilots.

 

”old heads” and “flight simulator on your desktop” generally don’t meet in time and space... sounds to me like you are much younger than what would be the average UAL new hire.

 

He showed you how to start the GPU? 🤔

 

Please go ahead and explicitly state that you believe this necessarily requires lowering those objective criteria on behalf of said minority/female candidates.

 

How does one compete for the training? I get the hiring one but technically it’s a pay to play kind of deal for pilot training outside of the guard and military.

 

skeet skeet!!!!!
