Holy shit. I was a major airline captain and retired early because of the hiring of any minority that walked in the door. I had FOs that were so weak I couldn’t drink water because I didn’t dare leave the cockpit to pee. I blame Boeing for telling management that any 200 hour can fly these jets and HR for not respecting how hard being a pilot really is.
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.
