Are airlines still hiring?  

You presume much.

United advertises that they would like to hire 50% women and pilots of color.  That part is true.  Why?  Cause any press indicating an employer is trying to grow a more diverse workforce is positive press these days.

the facts are that UAL will not have 50% of their applicants be women or people of color because there are not that many pilots in those demographics.  Last I read the percentage of women in the US with an ATP hovers around 5%.  

bottom line... UAL hiring is open to everyone qualified and all are encouraged to apply.  The growth plans we have with United Next are more than 10k pilots here in the next 10 years.  If you are thinking of j7mping over from the RW world, do it.  

however, if you're afraid you might be crewed with a woman or person of color, stay RW.  We don't need you.
