View MoreLast time I flew on United the women flight attendants worked the economy class. My first-class seat was the domain of two fat dudes, one who appeared annoyed because I was unused to stuffing my normal sized carry on into the old B-757 overhead. In comparison Southwest B-737 overhead are much larger and the Max is even better. One should never allow a marketing department or HR to run an airline.
I don't care if all pilots are black as long as they are competent. My most meticulous flight instructor was black. That said, selecting from around a 12% population number the demographics for this are not favorable without importing pilots or training them from scratch. This virtue signal is unlikely to come to fruition.
UAL may also want to support school choice to generate enough literate candidates.

I DO care if all pilots are black in the same way I would care if all pilots were white or men or any homogeneity (indicating racism in the hiring process). This great country fixed itself with respect to such things back in the '60s/'70s. Do not accept racism. Period.
