Honoring Bessie Coleman, American Crews A Flight With All Black Women - AVweb

Actually Jethro, if, as you say, equity and parity mattered they would want half of all employees in the company to be people of color. This flight is a small but significant gesture on the part of American Airlines that should not be lightly dismissed. Systematic discrimination against Black people has been a dominant part of aviation and the airlines since the beginning. Perhaps American and the other airlines should follow the lead of the RAF in prioritizing diversity in their recruiting.
