That being said, TT and years on the job doesn't make one more qualified over the other just like sex doesn't make one more qualified over the other.

We had a 2 yr female fo leave RAH for UAL last month. Her reputation was, shall we say, not good.

As for females and minorities, why is that? Do airlines have some legal quota they have to meet? Who enforces it? If not, why do they do it?

Because there are so many white males, lots of white males don't "make it", so they assume the reason they don't make it is because they are white males. If cockpits were made up of something other than predominately white males, this all might mean something...

Not to james it doesn't. He's way too deep in his ideologies to argue with....

Talk to Angie at Cage Consulting. 100% of females are not getting hired. Appearances can be deceiving.
