12735770, have u ever been on a US flight with a minority or female pilot?
Posted by blkprinceMD05, Wed Feb-25-15 12:49 PM
co-pilots included in this question

I mean sometimes ur not aware what the pilots look like but u will usually at least hear one of them

besides when I flew interject from cabo to mexico city (and that's a Mexican airline) I cant think of one time ive been on a flight and known I had a female or non White pilot

I wonder why more ppl of color and women don't pursue that in the US it seems
12735774, my homie wanted to be a pilot.

he studied it for a yr during college.

he didn't finish b/c the training was prohibitively expensive.

most pilots get their training hours in the military. those who don't go the military route have to pay lots of $$ to get the flight hours needed to complete their education. my homie learned this the hard way.
12735777, aha, that makes sense

12735866, yup and I hate airplanes, every woman pilot I saw was a black woman

One crew was even two. The pilot and co pilot both black women.
12735806, yes, and each time it quickly became the topic of discussion...

..amongst passengers.

one pilot jokin'ly responded to the commotion with, "..yes, a woman is piloting this plane... don't make me turn this airbus around..." as we approached the tarmac. the cabin erupted in laughter & applause.
