My main thought is were they chosen because of their skill or because of their gender and color?
Not a job you want to sacrifice quality for diversity. |

When can we stop celebrating these supposed milestones?
We're only going to end up in reverse the longer this "progress" is recognized. You were kings, slaves, and now you're equals in the workforce. Get over yourself so all of us can move forward as one. |

If I was on that flight, I would piss all over the floor in the bathroom then ask the women in the cockpit to clean it up (and make me a samwich) !

I have been in the flying business for 36 years. Nine in the Air Force and twenty seven at a major international carrier. When it comes to female pilots both places in equal measure place more value on diversity than what is best for the mission. My employer would replace every white male pilot with a black female if they could. That was said to me by a friend in upper flight operations management. It's just a statement of fact. It actually pisses off most of the white female pilots I fly with. They know they have to prove they are not EEOC hires and can do the job. It allows our current CEO to tell all his CEO friends how much better he is. Sadly most of the stories I can tell will never be told in a public forum. When I retire I may be driving more than flying. Even at my own carrier. But I will say this. Our worst pilots are better than any of the China Eastern or China Southern Pilots I have trained when I worked in the Training Department!

And let me guess...the drinks and pillows were being handed out to passengers by a gay Black male, just to hit all of the PC markers in the same flight. How coincidental. If they're good pilots, I'd bet that I'll like them just fine. Get my happy ass to Portland intact and the fact that I'm in Portland is my own fault. If the best they can do is just get me to the scene of the crash, then I don't like them as much but melanin doesn't have anything to do with that either. |

"I can now prove for a fact that 45 is better than 9mm." "Sorry your girl lost." "Chocolate is clearly better than vanilla." "Sorry your girl lost." You see, it's a reoccurring comedic theme on this site. Sometimes it's used seriously (as when a top_bullet is posting). Usually it's used as an ad-adsurdum remark, as in, it's intended to be ridiculous. And just to be clear, the above quotation marks, again, are used to expressly connotate a fictitious conversation. Those are not my actual beliefs. It's clear to me that you're just not cut out to grasp my childish since of humor. But thanks for pointing out the joke I missed regarding my misspelling. That was damn fine work PlaneJane. |
