KLM's flight decks aren't diverse at all too, if you're from a different ethnicity, might want to consider the environment.
This is an utter load of nonsense. There are plenty of diverse ethnic backgrounds in the KLM flight deck, myself being one of them. I have absolutely never had any KLM staff even attempt to say anything off-beat to me because of my ethnic background or in fact my choice of flight school.
It’s just not a thing here, your ethnicity is KLM blue once you walk through the door. There are plenty of things to criticize in this stale, dated and slow to go with the times airline. This however is not it. You can do better.
Additionally you will be hard pressed to find a more relaxed and supportive training environment. Best of luck with the selection for those applying, it’s not the easiest one around and you would do well to prepare for it properly.
