Affiliated aircrew
My mind was concentrated recently by a recent post on the subject of Mormon Pilots. Thinking around there are associations in the UK of flying farmers, flying lawyers, Christian Pilots, etc. No doubt elsewhere there are Jewish, Black, Asian, gay and other such pilots associations that I haven't come across.
The question I would like to pose to the house is - does it make a fig of difference? Surely anybody who considers their race, religion, marital state, sex, sexuality, etc. (or that of anybody else) in the slightest bit relevant to their job in a hangar or on a flight deck is in the wrong job.
(I'd make a slight exception for the flying farmers since they probably have a deep interest in flying from their own land which probably does present issues the rest of us don't worry about).
Views anybody?
