What I was referring to was Jesse Jackson et pukes wanting to lower the bars.
What Jesse wants, and what the individual members of his race “gets” is two different things.
Those guys that come into the major carriers with “the grueling series of ratings”, still have to get past the sim check at the end of their first year. Every pilot is under probation his/her first year.
It is dark in the sim. It does not matter what color you are. If you bust the ride, goodbye. It is rather like lowering the bar to get into CA’s leading universities. You may get in, but that does not mean you graduate.
The privilege of working in a major (and others) cockpit is still based on a meritocracy. Race will not keep you there. It still is, as it should be, which should comfort some of those that are unfamiliar with that particular “environment”.
