The SHOW: Airlines still a "good gig"??

I mean, I'm not a fan of over prioritizing diversity but if airlines, flight schools, or any private sector entity in the industry wants to advance diversity while maintaining standards, it's really none of the government's business. Maybe let the free market and customers sort it out. That's the way I remember the GOP used to think; I guess that's no longer the case.
 
It's 100% impossible to use diversity as a hiring consideration at an air carrier.

I honestly wonder how such an order ending DEI hiring at the airlines will end up affecting military transitions. Generally speaking, veterans are a protected class (like gender and race/color) and are often hired for positions over applicants with a greater number of and more directly relatable flight hours.

I don't forsee much impact for military folks. Once you're at the professional stage where the major airlines will even look at you it's almost a given you know how to fly an airplane regardless of 1,500 hours vs 10,000.

They're going to be looking at leadership and decision making as they are really hiring future captains.

I only flew around 400 hours during one of my OEF deployments but I feel comfortable putting that experience side by side with a part 121 captain flying double that in the same time frame.

Plus, mil folks can still tank the interview. It's not a given to be hired just based on your resume alone.
