Conservative influencer asks United Airlines one tough question (about DEI), and the answer could blow up US aviation…
Revolver News ^ | January 6, 2024 | Revolver

An anonymous source from the airline industry reportedly approached conservative pundit Ashley St. Clair with some unsettling information. Following this secret exchange, St. Clair has asked United Airlines a tough question. If her implications, backed by her source’s revelations, prove to be true, it could be a bomb that rocks the entire aviation industry.

Thanks to her source, Ashley is raising questions about a specific incident that took place last summer: a July 29th flight that ended with the airplane nearly totaled. She’s inquiring about who was operating the plane because her source claims the co-pilot was actually an unqualified hire made under the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion movement. If true, could this DEI hire have played a role in the reckless incident?

Here’s what she said in her thread on X:

Hey @united

On July 29, a United plane was nearly totaled after a hard landing

Who was flying that aircraft?

Was the co-pilot a former flight attendant who was FIRED and then rehired through United’s DEI program despite being on a list to not return to United?

Am I correct that this individual failed multiple trainings including simulator training?

Am I also correct that United has covered up this DEI disaster and many others?
Was the #2 at the Denver hiring center also onboarded through DEI? Did she or did she not change fail grades for DEI hires because “it makes the numbers look bad”?

Did the instructor who failed this co-pilot ask corporate why they passed him?

Don’t forget the mechanics who work on the planes.

Sort of.
In ‘Idiocracy’, the the doctor talked to Luke Wilson about how ‘tards were living kick ass lives now.
Even that he had a former girlfriend who was a ‘tard and was now a pilot.

WTF is a conservative influencer. If you can’t think for yourself you are not a conservative.

James O’Keefe needs to go with his secret recorders to a watering hole where airplane pilots hang out. I have it on good authority that he would get some very interesting and scary comments about DEI in the cockpit.

I don’t think I will fly again.

I would never have dreamed in a million years that management could be so utterly stupid as to endanger plane loads of passengers just to placate government wingnuts. The airlines must get lots of government money.

Over Christmas I had to hear my nice explain why she didn't like the movie Oppenheimer. She said "it was too full of old white men." Yes, I have one of those types in my family. If it wasn't for those old white men, we'd have lost countless lives invading Japan. When you need something to actually work, you want those "old white men."

No, I didn't say a damn thing. I promised my elderly mother to not ruin another Christmas by fighting with the psycho side of the family.

In related news, Spirit Aerosystems built the "plug door" that detatched from an Alaska Airlines 737 over the weekend.

They're touting their DEI bonafides all over their website including a 2022 diversity recognition.

Maybe they should spend more time QA'ing their plug doors.

Spirit AeroSystems’ Commitment to Global Diversity, Equity and Inclusion

If it wasn’t for those old white men, knuckle heads wouldn’t have the luxury of living in a country where they could complain. Referring to the founding fathers.

I may have half of what you have in terms of mileage.

Like you though, I try hard to stay off Affirmative Airlines to the best of my ability.

I drove to Yukon Territory, Alaska and back in July. 9,400 miles. Just takes a little longer.

I worked for one of the big railroads. I was amazed at how incompetent and timid folks were when it came time to make decisions.

I have a former client who is a United pilot. He told me a few months ago about something very much like what this article is about. Bad hires. Close calls. He told me not to fly United because something bad is going to inevitability happen.

Tis true that flying is mostly automated today.....until an emergency occurs. At that point I prefer the most experience possible at the yoke.

No it’s not. 32 years flying and I have yet to fly an aircraft requiring no pilot input.

Even if you are woke and they gave you a free ride, as long as you have reasonable intelligence and you are disciplined enough to get through the program, you'll get away with flying a commercial airliner.

The only problem is that you need a skilled pilot to handle the 737 MAX MCAS in case there's something wrong with it.

Lion Air Flight 610 and Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302 crashed. If you noticed, they were run by pilots from 3rd world nations.

American pilots had a higher skill set so they were able to mauvever their planes to prevent themselves from getting in crashes.

Just how qualified are the people that reach executive levels of corporations and who have the ability to make these decisions?

On top of the corruption factor, keep in mind the Snafu Principle (as noted in that timeless ode to human failure - the Illuminatus! trilogy): the higher you are in an organization, the less you know about what's really going on.
