The Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, never required that a certain percentage of hirees had to be women and/or minorities. It merely stated that if women/minorities were under-represented, the company was required to hire the applicant belonging to the underrepresented minority whose qualification scores were among the top.

White Caucasian Male – It seems you misunderstood Ozymandias. All he said was that the most important by far qualification needs to be the training, fitness, and competence of the pilot, and “politically correct” considerations must NOT take precedence over that. Nowhere in his statement did I notice any “fixation with angle-saxons.” The word “white” when it comes to race does not equate anglo-saxons. The “white race” is said to have originated in the region of the Caucasian mountains. The Anglos and the Saxons are both Germanic tribes living in far northern Germany. Both tribes invaded and conquered England and… Read more »
