Roy Boy, just to add my two cents worth, I too was born in the UK, but now live in the US and am a 7576 Captain for a major US airline. I have never encountered any racial discrimination at any airline I've worked for.... maybe it's because I don't look for it. If anyone ever had their doubts (and it's happened a couple of times over the last 25+ years) I've let my flying do the talking. I've met other pilots from Asia/Indian subcontinent, that were quick to blame the color of their skin for not getting on at a carrier, but I think their attitude towards life let them down. I must admit I did get a laugh once, when I was an F/O on a trip to London, and my Captain happened to be from Afghanistan, we sure did get some curious looks from our pax !! Good luck and happy landings in your career. FLCH
