Bottom line is minorities in aviation shouldn’t have to have their own job fair to receive equal treatment when it comes to opportunities or getting noticed. The more we label ourselves as “Group A” and “Group B Pilots Association”, the less diverse we’ll become. If we think diversity in the cockpit is a good thing, then we should stop separating pilots into groups based on skin color, sex, or sexuality. Counterproductive.

It is an unnecessary "requirement" , but its their ball game.

Then why are they named the way they are?
