The airlines keep saying that they will make sure the staff follow the policies instead of providing training to avoid negative bias. The policy they talk about is one that changed because of racial bias (asking for medical license). The doctor of the article only had their license at hand because they had recently talked to the doctor who was previously profiled and motivated the change in policy.

Doctor Says She Was Racially Profiled By Flight Staff Who Doubted Her Credentials
(www.huffpost.com)
How do you look at a medical license and STILL not believe that someone is a doctor? That's wild.
No, that's just racist. That's something to remember when you argue with someone like that.
