Well as a black Air Force pilot and someone that just went through AA's school house, I have a few suggestions that people probably won't want to hear.
I'm gonna be really honest, I'm dreading being a FO at a major airline from a "what are we gonna talk about on the way down to Costa Rica" standpoint, so many of the age 55+ folks in the school house and elsewhere in the company are c o m p l e t e l y disconnected from reality, and the things they say in 2022 are just unfathomable. Obviously 4 years of Trump making it ok for these people to say these things didn't help.
If anyone is curious to talk to someone who has routinely been the only black ops officer in their wing or squadron, you can feel free to message me directly.
