I thought about this from another post; do you know our FEMALE CHIEF OF NAVAL OPERATIONS educational qualifications are a degree in journalism and an online master’s degree from the University of Phoenix? Pretty impressive. I’m sure there were no male counterparts in the entire Navy, made up of about 80% males, with better qualifications. Yep, we’re screwed.

Same here. I am way past worrying about hurting anyone’s feelings. I don’t care if anyone calls me names. If, for ANY reason I don’t have a good feeling about a medical “professional” I will walk out. It’s pretty rare I’d go in there these days anyway.

Had a fellow FReeper basically advocate that their kid with Asperger’s would be a great controller. As a former controller myself in the military and FAA in the 80’s I said Sorry nut NO! That freeper wasn’t thinking about when something goes wrong and the freak out begins.

If the name fits, wear it.

They already assume you are racist. Act accordingly.

I’m too old to give a shit about anyone’s feelings.

“Are airlines sacrificing safety at the altar of “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI)?”“

Well of course they are. Putting aside that they have been subordinating safety to politics in all fields for the better part of half a century and that this HAS cost people their lives, the calculation of the airlines is undoubtedly that today the control panel flys the plane and pilots are only needed in short bursts if at all. The intelligence and personal motivation that pushed guys in the past to master flying has probably dropped considerably and is presently on the ground getting kicked in the throat.

The deis are going to make stupid mistakes in inputting data and operating controls and they’d going to come up short in competence in emergency situations.
