Hire the best, regardless of race , region gender etc while it might be more costly , long term it is the only thing that works
If anything it is the main reason CX has a reputation for safety over the last 70 years. Sure did they happen to skew caucasian? Yeah but who cares if they are the best?
That's the problem; they can't attract talent like before. So many experienced aviators left due to cost cutting. To make matters worse, the lowering of hours for promotion. Those who work their butt off trying to get to Capt and FO are flying many hours before, and now? Standards are there for a reason (safety).
This is the same scenario for cabin crew. the lowering of hours for promotion has been reduced. How would it feel for those who could not get a promotion before but seeing new joiners ahead of them in the pecking order? For management, that's good because they are cheaper. Any tom, dick and Harry can get in now. There's no standard.
