Black United Pilots Claim Discrimination

If there is, say, 10% of people in aviation are of a certain race or gender, shouldn't the makeup of every company reflect that? Is it not currently that way at United? If not, what caused it to become unbalanced? Was it the quality of the applicant, or the people behind the application process?

I"d say if there's disparity in the proportion of qualified applicants to hires, and promotion candidates to promoted employees, then yes. But I imagine the pipeline of Black pilots coming from civilian flight schools is disproportionately lower.

Yeah, that's what I'm getting at. But I'd also like to see how some of the people were turned down for a job. The interview had better have been the same, or United "haz sum splaining tu du!"

Aaaah...I get it.

I thought that was going a different route. The route of "well if I had boobs or a tan I'd be at a major by now!"

Nah. I'm evil Russian and I am where I am
U HQ doesn't strike me as a discriminating place, the colorful (no race reference intended) opposite actually.
Not familiar with the flight part composition though.

Caught a whiff of a certain vet/race/boobs questioneer being passed down to actually figure out the %.
