46Driver and Ty,
I'll just repost what I said earlier:
Competitively qualified, once again as long as they meet the airline minimums then it is all good minority or not. What you fail to realize is that minorities were not the only ones being taken at or near those minimums, just the most visible. There were several others including interns, which by the way had their own stack as well, those with recommendations, and those whose parents worked there. If you're going to complain about one group you should complain about all of them, but because they are not an easy target why bother? Not to mention that there were a lot more of them than any minority group.

This is a very true statement and one of the reasons for affirmative action nationwide. Keep in mind the MAJORITY, without these rules in place, tend to intentionally exclude the MINORITY no matter the qualifications. History has proven that.
So lets just get rid of affirmative action and let the "Good 'ol boy network" do it's thing.

A logical conclusion to be drawn is that generations prior to us had very little if any competition with minority groups, and these very people still are in positions to help majority groups gain employment. Minority groups don't enjoy this benefit, so that lends even more validity to preferential interviewing.
