ASA's newest milestone

[Stifler's Mom]

I don't need any accolades, I just think that in this day we don't need to recognize those types of things.

Look at the positives of this. I my opinion, our occupation has primarily been dominated by white-males. For the masses out there, I bet most people expect to see "Two White Dudes" in the cockpit. I know I do, and I try to catch myself with preconceived notions or ideas.

Now for this crew, their accomplishments as individuals and as a crew on this date, allow others to help break down those walls and barriers.

Maybe out there some little girl or person of color will see what they have accomplished and realized that maybe someday they can actually become an airline pilot too.

I used to think all pilots had to be Military pilots previously, until I talked to pilots who came from Civilian backgrounds.

I know people want to be "colorblind" in this society, but it is not realistic. There is nothing wrong with being Black, White, Brown, Red, Yellow or some combination of them. Acknowledge differences and see them as positives rather than negatives and learn to deal with them I say.

Any of you out there with daughters will see how this plays out in society as they grow up probably.

I love it, blacks always say just treat us equal. But then they go and make sure we all know when they do something of no value. The real headline of this should have been "2 women behind the controls of one of those ghetto planes, and it didn't crash" not 2 blacks can fly. Blacks create more tension. Except Sharpton he is a real stand up guy!!!

Right..not saying it's a bad thing or a good thing-just seems like if african americans wanted to be seen as the equals that they are then they wouldn't have all this hoopla. The color barrier is strengthened because of stuff like this. Do you think that in Africa they honored the first all white flight crew?

I liked the very first comment on there from the guy that said he didn't get recognized for the first all italian-american crew. They deleted it though.

yeah, took my post away! bastards!

Hoser

I was apart of an all Catholic flight crew and ASA never published it. Wouldn't Pelosi and OBiden be better Catholics if our flight was published?

C'mon Texx, you're a mutt and would never be part of ANY all-anything crew!

Hoser

If blacks want us too care, then maybe they should work on the following headlines.

- Black person admits you can make it even if you were born poor
- Black person hired over white person because he/she is more qualified, not because of AA
- first black person too help white elderly lady through rough neighborhood, not mug her
- black person gets job to move out of the projects, and stasrt live for self un-aided

Forrest,
Why did you post the ghetto airline link? What was the reason for that?

cuz' itz funny! Lighten up or just stay silent. everybody else got a chuckle. except the uptight pinheads

an' fo' the record: not nearly as many folks care as you think.

oh by the way which one of them was from Africa and which one is from America?

I can tell which one is female easy enough.

Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton don't want it to go away. If it did what would they do with their time?
