'We've engineered the biographical questionnaire in a way that we think will promote diversity.'" The initial hurdle for all applicants was based solely on a new, online biographical questionnaire that gave test takers instant results.

"It didn't ask me anything about my college experience, my grades, my scores, (and) my ability for the actual job. It asked me what sports I played in high school. What was my least favorite subject in high school. Nothing related to aviation," remembered Meryhew

"Biographically ineligible."

They should go back online, and answer all the questions in Spanish. ("Question" in Spanish is "Pregunta," by the way) Or, when asked about your favorite aviator in history, just answer "Big Daddy Kane."

I bet they'll get a call-back in a matter of minutes.

Especially since English is an official language of all airport control personnel worldwide.

The policy is called “We hate hiring white people.”

I've had white line fever since my last commercial flight in 2005. Love driving down the highway.

Never Say “I Kill White People Like You” When Asked To Turn Off Your Phone Post-Takeoff

Following takeoff from Nashville Sunday afternoon, a United Airlines passenger warned a fellow flyer that, “I kill white people like you” when she was asked to turn off her cell phone, investigators allege.

The disruption on Flight 4205, which was bound for Houston, resulted in the Embraer 135’s return to Nashville’s airport, where Lashonda Lee Williams was arrested for assault.

The 43-year-old Williams, seen at right, was asked by another female passenger to “turn off her cell phone due to the aircraft being in flight,” according to a court affidavit. In reply, Williams allegedly said, “I kill white people like you.”

Investigators noted that Williams told the other passenger, K. Colleen Coult, 50, that she would follow her upon reaching Houston “and find out where she lived.” The comments “created fear in Coult for her safety,” the affidavit notes.

A United flight attendant told cops that Williams’s statements “were causing anxiety and fear throughout the cabin.”

Flying just isn’t as classy as it used to be.

Denzel flew that plane upside-down and saved all those people, and then there was "Red Tails"--

Of course, none of them actually happened, but you just wait!! The future is going to be Mars Missions and Skyscrapers-- like the Jetsons!

Promoting racial diversity has been a political goal of the UN from its very beginning. This was done in order to destroy the West.

Does anyone see it practiced in Africa, Mid-East or Asia?

“here’s my address. Make sure you bring a gun when you come to my house so I can prove self-defense when I blow your head off”.
