So, let me ask you, if it was a white male, would he still have had this opportunity? Does Delta routinely handout free 737 type ratings to pilots that go work directly for its competitors like Spirit?
And lets not be PC or anything like that, but I hope she realizes that being female and a miniority is the best combination you can have in this industry! That's two checkboxes the hiring committees can sign off on just one applicant.

As we are on the topic of requirments for the majors... What do they think about not having a 4 year degree? I know the regionals dont really mind anymore as I'm employed by one and know many regional pilots without their bachelors but how do the majors feel about it? After high school I went to A&P school and worked as a mechanic first. Is it really worth it to start working on a 4 year degree with some sort of online program? Or is it possible to make it without it?

A white male doesn't have opportunity? Thats just crazy talk. Who are predominantly in the seats of the flight deck?
Unfortunately, ur grandparents made mistakes and all this EOE crap exists today. Don't hate tht FO because she took an opportunity DAL is forced to give because of law suits they lost.

Sorry I'm late, just rumaging around for that ten foot pole..... 
Office Space is on...rather fitting to the PCL situation. So many good qoutes...."Ask yourself, 'Is this good for the company'?".

Of my friends who fly, I don't know of any advantage the non-white non-males have had. Matter of fact, one of my friends who is having lots of difficulty finding a job is a minority.
I wouldn't be too bothered though. White males still dominate cockpits, so what's the problem?

I thought we had come a long way, but maybe not.

You can even get credits for your A&P licenses on top of any ratings you have.

Anything that pays as well and you would want to do, IF you weren't a pilot requires a degree, even an advanced degree--get one! You can't be certain you will be picked by a major, you don't know what health or the economy has in mind for you--be prepared.
