Who's Missing in First Class? -by Lauren Zalaznick

More informal and less statistically sound than the Menendez study, to be sure, I found the aggregate cabin population was an average of almost 92 percent Caucasian. Of these, almost 30 percent were white women. I'd say approximately half of these women were the non-working spouses of the working male half of the couple, along for the ride, so to speak. So call it 15 percent working white women.
The copy reads: "The extra room, the privacy, the service, the atmosphere in general all make flights easier for men with work on their minds. We don't doubt that it adds up to a kind of ivory tower. It's supposed to."
But, I'd like to see the racial and gender balance in the C-suite and its transportation mirror, the first-class cabin, move faster than the certain but incremental progress I've seen in my own working life.

it is an airplane

you pay for it

if you have the money and you want to you can get a better cabin

it is not a social barometer

seriously

I mean seriously

In other news; Michael Moore shaved his beard and looks like someone's mom. Oh, and he's posting bail for that WikiLeaks guy because freedom of information. Also, WikiLeaks may have prevented 9/11.

That is not a joke, an exaggeration, or an imaginary story.

He actually makes that argument.

It's like Roman Polanski all over again, except if instead of making movies, Roman also broke the law.
