I don’t blame the veteran pilots in this case.

My old joke.
In the air in a jumbo jet, Pilot A says to Pilot B: “I’m nervous. You take over the landing. I admit I was hired for the affirmative action quota and I failed everything in flight school. I can’t really fly a plane.”

Pilot B: “Darn it. That’s what I was just going to say to you about me.”

“I don’t want you flying next to me on that airplane because I have to get up on a 10-hour flight and go take a break or go to the bathroom. How are you going to behave when I’m not here?”

DEI is like crabgrass infecting a lawn. Once established its almost impossible to eradicate and the lawn is eventually ruined. If any pilot can’t pass a revaluation, then ground and fire them.

I’d like to agree, but isn’t this exaggerated? Takeoffs and landings would seem to be far more challenging than the level flight that makes up a majority of an eight-hour flight. Surely, with any training at all, less experienced pilots can handle level flight.

“She says DEI has so completely undermined safety standards that pilots are sometimes afraid to leave the cockpit for fear of what their co-pilots will do unattended.

“Walker said pilots are required by law to take a nap during an eight-hour flight,...”

Delta used to boast about their “ALL FEMALE COCKPITS”, until a plane was FLIPPED during landing in Toronto.

Nothing to worry about, when I learned to fly many years ago they taught us the plane would land no matter what happens once it takes off...
