So your example for WASP pilots having twisted panties is:
A senior Air India Express pilot ignored the recommendations of his junior female co-pilot while landing in bad weather

So if I´m, say, 22, male and just had my license finished and I compete with a 22 year old female with an equally fresh license and she gets hired because OTHER males in the PAST have treated OTHER females bad / wrongly (exchange female with any minority if you wish) then you are fine with that ?
Are you one of these individuals who think racism and prejudice is only possible to origin from white persons, particularly white men ?
