This is terrible news for all minority applicants

The black pilot should be given enough training to pass his type ride.

train train and train til you pass huh? The opposite of everything you normally preach around here. Just because you really really want to be an airline pilot, and have the funds to retrain for every ride doesn't mean you have any business flying an airliner. Regardless of ethnicity

Great job. Finally I can write my Congressmen and tell them they did something right for a change.

Not all minorities have the welfare mentality! A lot of us have EARNED our jobs!

Exactly. My freinds at work whom are black would only be embarrassed by this sort of ranting. It does nothing but undermine and discredit their education and immaculate training records. Affirmative action taking credit for personal achievements.

This is terrible news for ALL minority applicants. We should all write our congressman and get congress to make a law to overturn this ruling.

Your statement represents the attitude that I most hate within my own country. Shame on you.

How do you make a law to overturn a court ruling? You don't read newspapers much do you? The Supreme court trumps even God in this country.

This wasn't solely about affirmative action, this ruling was over lesser test scores from the minorities- BUT everytime there's a fatal crash with a pilot that failed a bunch of checkrides, that would trump it for even those most cozy with affirmative action.

This isn't some office marketing job. If those guys suck.....well, thats why theres all those Burger King commercials. People put their lives in our hands so they only care about having the safest pilots, no matter what they look like.

Good luck with your "law". Hope I saved you from sounding like an idiot to your 2 senators.

Their needs to be a fare way for us minorities to get a chance go get ahead. Affirmative action provides that chance. White people still get most of the jobs, so by giving us a preferential chance really doesn't hurt the majority.

Come on boys and girls, this is TOTAL FLAME BAIT.

Next.................

Asuming your correct with the law, then I'll write my senator and ask him to amend the constitution to allow congress to overturn a supreme court ruling.

:sigh: BTTB... I honestly hope you're flaming because I hate Affirmative Action! I got my job(s) because I'm qualified and the interviewer(s) thought I wouldn't be too bad to be around for a four day trip...not because I have the same skin tone as the guy to my left.

I've proven myself by passing one of the toughest training programs around and making it on the line. If I couldn't hack it like these firefighters (Err...applicants I guess would be the word I'm looking for here) I wouldn't want the standards lowered for me. I take pride in my job and my own pass rate!

If that made any sense....

"fare" way? "us minorities"? Maybe the black firefighters couldn't pass the test because, like you. they were too @#$%# stupid!!!
