Come to the states my friend Diversity is our middle name. (ok well maybe our First name)

No other country in the world has such a mix of peoples from all around the globe holding positions of power at so many levels - this is a fact. This diversity, I believe, is a key strength for the country.

As far as the airlines here go, I do admit seeing mostly white fellows up in the pointy end - but I think the variance of ethnicity is greater here than anywhere else - no scientific evidence to support my claim - but I have a good feeling it must be true.
United Airlines is well known for their 'quota' system ensuring more minorities are given cockpit opportunities.

I wonder if there is data (from like ALPA or something) showing the racial makeup of flight crews worldwide ?

best regards
