Thanks u a,
completely agree, zero, nothing, zilch in the way of racism in the cockpit here.
re travel, my experience has been successfully riding on 142 legs in a row as an AA WO non rev without issue getting on. No way I would have been able to do that or even get close with the lower priority as a “partner” airline, also the vast majority of these flights including many international legs that were completely free!
there is no comparison, AA WO is way in front as a new hire as unlike UA and Delta you have the same non rev rights as a 30 year captain immediately on start of employment. it purely goes on check in time to decide priority in class and our class is 1 or 2. As a partner employee you sit around class 5 or 6, hence the higher degree of difficulty in riding. (Not talking about the jump, just for non rev for employee and family)
cheers

Also as per the post that supposedly occurred above, I have never once seen any speck of racism based on skin colour or immigration status, so need not worry about the perception you have of the USA via Youtube, CNN or Fox.
