A federal civil rights complaint alleges California Baptist University discriminates on the basis of race.
Its joint “True North Program” aims to increase the number of racial minority pilots in conjunction with Alaska Airlines.
“True North was the first-of-its-kind pilot development program in the airline industry aimed at hiring racial and ethnic minority pilots and creating the fastest path to fly for Alaska Airlines,” a representative for the company stated in an announcement.
“Partnering with CBU — who has a strong reputation in the industry for its aviation science program — is just one way Alaska is working to increase the company’s racial diversity at all levels,” Captain Ronald Limes stated.
