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.

So call it 15 percent working white women.listen
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.
