One notes the almost complete absence of black commercial and airline pilots. Either you can fly to spec or you can’t.

Obviously the motor skills are there (at least in regard to sports).

Is it the lack of reasoning skills and judgement?

Denzell Washington is a commercial pilot in a recent movie. Saw the commercial.

I am not an affirmative action fan, but let’s get some perspective, here.

I believe black pilots are reasonably common these days in the AF and the Navy.

I have been flown somewhere in the past few years by a black commercial airline pilot.

We should remember the heroics of the Red Tails of WWII.

Talking doctors: Nearly 20 years ago, I had spinal surgery by a black neurosurgeon who was a Mayo Clinic grad. Outstanding! It was elective, meaning i chose to have it. Do not regret it.
