Well..there goes air travel safety
Will never fly united
Bingo. Diversity above all else including the ability to actually and skillfully fly a plane?
No thanks. I haven't flown United in well over 20 years now since I no longer fly for work related travel and I'll be damn' sure not to fly them going forward.
As a woman who was a flight attendant for over 25 years, I will say that I PERSONALLY saw incompetent people pushed through, dragged through, excused through flight training that should NEVER have been near a cockpit. I PERSONALLY saw many MANY competent pilots (white male obv) who were repeatedly passed over so that a sub par female or other category was hired.
One woman was so terrible that she started sleeping with someone WHO WORKED FOR AN AGENCY DEALING WITH AIRLINES to not wash out. I think it was found out in the end and he was reassigned. Not sure what happened to her.
This will not end well. Look for mass retirements to occur at the very least.
In other news, the big airlines promised to remove all white paint on the exterior and interior of their planes....
Experts explained that the white paint was the result of deep systemic racism and needed to be eradicated.
When critics suggested that white paint may have been used for safety reasons, the airlines explained “who cares if folks die because of the change—you have to break a few eggs to make an omelette”.

“...United Aviate Academy will create opportunities for thousands of students..”
No experience needed. There was a time not to long ago the airlines would hire no one but experienced ex military pilots.
