ASA's newest milestone

[Salukipilot4590]

-How is "the man" keeping anyone down when so few of these guys even want to fly in the first place?

-There are simply some things that are not all that "cool" to certain ethnic groups, and aviation is not nearly as "cool" as some other careers to most black folks.

Youre a f-king idiot...i'm done with this board.

The sheer chance of having an all female crew much less an all AA female crew (double minority) is almost an impossibility. .

hearing that this was 'arranged" by scheduling, it was black history month etc etc. Is it true that SB paid for teh capts lodging and approved her for additional sims? why wouldn't he do that for others???????????????????

Actually it happens all the time. The all female part. It's just not national news worthy because they're the wrong color.

Is it really that big a deal for people when someone of color is successful?
Do black people really think so little of themselves that doing something so "normal" is worthy of news?

You are correct as I have seen all AA crews before as well as all female crews before and no they didn't recieve any notoriety. Thus your last statement is moot. I was speaking of the double minority part. Again, this made news as in the 107 years of aviation this is the first of any airline. They did and continue to do their jobs as professionals ... well done.

Also
Freebrd, don't believe everything you hear. Do you actually believe that skd would troll the rsv list trying to find these two and put them together. All this while checking everyones picture to ensure they were black and they would have to do this while complying w/ the contract and not give assign these trips out of order. I know contract violations happen all the time but this sounds far pretty fetched. The other "rumors" sound silly.

Ask Air Jamaica pilots about the significance of this.

It's all good mon!

All I can say is WOW to the comments on here.

This is a milestone like it or not and it does mean a lot.

Let me make it simple. There are over 70,000 airline pilots in the US with over 28,000 commercial airline flights every day!

That equates to over 10,000,000 flights per year! It would not be a stretch to say in the past 20 years there have been over 100 million flights. Extend that back to the beginning of aviation and the number starts to approach half a billion flights!

So it took half a billion flights to get an all female african american crew to fly together and that is not worth mentioning?

Still waiting on the all-female-all-lesbian-swedish bikini team....

If they ain't black you will never know if it happened.

I just cant believe some of you guys are going to be allowed to reproduce, sterilization shots are in order for you idiots.

Karma is a beech however, some of your children are going to bring home blacks as boyfriends/girlfriends. Your first reaction is going to be one of stupidity, because by that age your brain is going to be a jello consisting of beer, bbq, fox news and nascar.

Ohh snap no you didn’t. In coming take cover.

If you're not watching fox news then you are just not fair and balanced.

...and what exactly is wrong with Fox News and NASCAR?? I'm about to watch the truck race now.
Could it be that you don't care for anyone that doesn't agree with you?? I agree that maybe some of the comments were uncalled for but many I would agree with...meaning what about the all "non-married with no kids" crew?? or similar crews. They want the whole world to be color blind but consistently throw non relavent stories like this in the news. Just my two cents. BTW... I'm hoping Kyle Busch crashes in the first few laps.

Do you think that in Africa they honored the first all white flight crew?

No, but again, black people didn't come to America and take white people over in ships to be slaves in Africa...

While its true that whites did go to Africa and bring blacks back for slaves, there is one little fact that everyone, expecially blacks, seem to leave out. Where do you think the whites got the blacks? Do you think they went out in the jungle and captured them? Nope, they bought them from other blacks who had defeated them in battle. While whites certainly have blame in this horrible situation, blacks aren't exactly blame free (selling their "brother blacks" into slavery). Strange how this fact is always left out in discussions about slavery.

Funny-That happened like 400 freaking years ago! Why the hell has everyone still got their boxers in a bunch?

Easier to blame the man than to take personal responsibility.

And to the poster above. If my daughter "brought home" a black man, I would be ABSOLUTELY FINE with it. As long as he cared for her and made her happy.

I would be pissed if she "brought home" a shiftless loser who was waste of DNA and a drain to society.... Of ANY color. Let me say it again. Of ANY color. What you don't understand, is most white people I know feel the same way. But you would call them racist.

Hate away
