Watson gave specific instructions to hiring committee to diversify the senior leadership. So we got a bus specialist when we were trying to fix LRT. I you think she gets that job without Watson's directive I think you are mistaken. Don't declare you will hire based on race (and gender) and expand the city based on race and then be surprised when people question how decisions were made. Especially when things go south afterwards.
Agree with your last point we probably wouldn't get the kind of people who applied the first time again but North America wide transit is becoming like police where you have 2.5 strikes against you for leadership if you are white freeing up some highly qualified candidates.

If the city hired a white guy with the exact same experience as her - with the exact same job performance - what would you complain about then? Huh?
