Females and minoroties and white males are getting hired by doing the same thing. Working their respective contacts and being persistant. If I can do it anyone can.

My advice is to stay away and concentrate your time and resources on a user-friendly airline that values diverse skills and what you can bring to the table, not a clique airline that merely wants clones. Trust me, you will be much happier elsewhere. Shiny airplanes are not the only things that go to make a good career.
b757driver said:Discrimination is.....plain discrimination, no matter how you sugar-coated.It IS against the law, and has been for years, to discriminate on the basis of age, religion, race etc. It's not about fairness per se but calling a spade a spade. Why then does it say on every airline app - incl. FEDEX - "we are an EQUAL opportunity employer....we do NOT discriminate according to........"???? And let me guess....they still take your application fee to keep their HR folks happy, knowing full well that unless you meet their strict criteria, you will not stand a chance. May or may not be legal in some states but it's certainly distasteful at best and unethical at best.
It's been quite clear for some time that a whole community of potential employees are NOT being given an EQUAL opportunity and are being discriminated against for not having "enough buds" to recommend them. This remains the SOLE criteria for hiring, not experience, qualifications, nor individual merit or achievement. I know because I know someone there that tried his best (met and even exceeded all the other requirements) but could not even get a System Chief Pilot to make a sensible comment on a candidate because he was "not worthy" to be interviewed!
Why do you think the recruiters were so low key & sullen?? They clearly were uncomfortable being there because everyone knew what their agenda was and it was a waste of space talking to them unless you had plenty of buds there who would work the magic and keep it a closed shop.
For the record, I gave up on FDX a long time ago and am glad I did not waste my energy on such a closed-shop organization.

Most of us are more that qualified to work there otherwise
