At their taxi speeds, they can apply it before that.

That guy needs to be reported and evaluated. That kind of hatred is the same hatred as someone who would go and shoot up a public place.

Yes. Let’s put demographics before hiring safe pilots that know what they’re doing. That’s worked out so well in the past (most recently Atlas Air in Texas).

Hiring a person based on skin color, sex, or if they’re a rainbow chaser is the most idiotic thing a company can do.

Please that guy was a special case, the conversations I have heard in the cockpit and while jumpseating on swa is absolutely the same kinda hate. As a Sicilian American I am tired of constantly being asked where I am from.

Large companies can afford it, at least at lower worker bee levels. At the top, there's a room full of old white dudes with a couple of tokens that know their place.

What’s racist about asking a person’s background? I happen to like people and hearing about what makes them unique as well as what makes them tick. I also appreciate hearing how they got to where they are as well as telling my story. If someone can’t take a little sincere inquiry then maybe they should shut themselves in to protect their delicate feelings.

Tell that to the truly successful minorities in this country, like the family I married into. The epitome of privilege is brainwashing a sector of society into thinking that they can only achieve their goals if they are “allowed to”, and not because of their education, experience and hard work.

Yeah I can see it now. I’m betting the butthurt is actually you being mistaken for an Italian.

Were you born there?

Guess what, I toured all over Sicily and was asked many times where I was from.

I can’t believe you are serious. I’m first generation and a dual citizen with immigrant parents (one from Alto-Adige area). English was not my first language. I have an uncommon name and am asked where I’m from all the time. People are interested.

What happened to that Sicilian pride?

I seriously hope you are trolling, otherwise you are going to have a long life of this inferred hatred. Let me guess-all airlines in this country are full of hatred towards Sicilians.
