Thin skinned? Don't come ask for a ride if you can't make conversation. GD....
BTW, first gen on one side and asked all the time about my name. I don't GAF. Neither should you. Kitty.

oh yeah, because the sole reason he was hired at Atlas was because he was black.

Why? I’m a foreigner myself. People ask me where I’m from because they’re genuinely interested. I’m the same way with other foreigners. What does any of this have to do with an airline hiring pilots that can transport people from Point A to Point B safely?

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.

This ^^^^^. English is a second language for me as well. I have an uncommon name and people are genuinely interested in my background.

Few things **** me off more than those that are too lazy to take advantage of the American Dream like my family and I have.
