Even back in the 90's I was passed up for a flight instructor jobs for a girl just because she was a girl. Not more qualified, just that she was a girl. Not that I'm a misogynist, but I do remember when I get screwed over.
A little while later I went back to the FBO to get a biannual flight review, and the owner wanted me to go with his girl. I refused, and made him fly with me personally.
At least it was the one thing I had control over- where I spent my money.
I was going to apply at UAL back in the early 90s too. At the time they charged a $75 fee to apply. I called the Chief Pilots office and asked and the secretary there was honest enough and told me if I was a white male, save my money.
