Summary
United has announced that it’s going to use affirmative action to increase the number of its female and minority pilots. Does this mean that United is now full of racists?

| 0:37.0 | Hi everybody! |
| 0:42.5 | Let me adjust here. There we go. Listen to this. It's hot to believe this is the United Airlines |
