Back in the 80’s, Delta became woke. . .for a few years they only hired women pilots, passing over much more experienced male pilots. In a few cases, they hired a few women and trained then to fly, from private ticket to ATP.
Delta is one of the worst run airlines I have ever had to work with. They hire incompetent minorities of all sorts and it shows.
That happened to my younger son. Delta was hiring female pilots with the bare minimum 250 hours of experience while he had 2-3000. Fortunately he was hired later on and is flying A-330s to the Far East and Europe.
