USAir agreed to discontinue a backdoor hiring practice as part of a settlement with two black pilots who claim they were discriminated against. A judge ruled that Philip A. Garland, 37, of Las Vegas, and Larry C. Taylor, 41, of Carson, Calif., had been denied jobs at USAir because of an informal, backdoor hiring system that gave preference to friends and relatives of airline employees and discriminated against black applicants.
