I predict 777s colliding on the taxi ways. Just like agile Navy ships getting hit by freighters.
So we are going to sacrifice planes full of people to check some boxes..
Kara S. Hultgreen All over again, except this time they will take another 100 plus people with them.
Just ask people of color it they would fly on a plane with a most competent pilot, or with a person of color or female gender.
Watch the planes start falling from the sky.
To quote Sheldon on Big Bang Theory, “Oh gravity, thou art a heartless bitch.”
Leftists ruin everything they touch. Wait until United can’t find enough minorities capable of passing their pilots program. They will lower their standards just to meet a quota.
I saw this in action in Nigeria back in the 90s.
Nigeria passed a law mandating whites make up only 10 percent of all technical jobs. An oil rig, for example, generally had the top 3 jobs as whites, with the rest being black.
Rigs started having some major issues, a couple caught fire.
I was landing in Warri one day in a small Bombardier jet. The flight deck door was open.
As we approached, you could hear the English pilot screaming at the black pilot as we came in to land. We hit so hard my back hurt for a week.
We ended up and the end of the runway with the front wheels in a pile of sand. We walked, with our luggage, back to the terminal.
I remember thinking in my head, “I can’t believe I’m going to die in Warri, Nigeria!”
This should be illegal.
If United cannot foresee that the one thing people will prefer, regardless of wokeness, is the most elite experienced qualified personel flying them 35000 feet above the earth, they deserve everything thats coming their way . Get woke - go broke.
So selection not by skill, but by looks. Bet your life on another airline...
As if I needed yet another reason not to fly.
Years back many AL Pilots were prior military; training ,training and train some-more.
Many experienced some serious mishaps and some combat. These are the people I want in the left seat, not some X Burnside Ott type flunky
Affirmative Action gave us cops and fire fighters that didnt meet standards so they lowered the standards and that is where we are.
Liberals destroy everything they touch
A trans pilot would give new meaning to “cockpit”
I was an undergrad pilot training IP in the days when the AF first admitted women. Some were very good, others were not. And yes, there was pressure to pass some of the not good ones in order to meet quotas. I had the pleasure of being good friends with one of the first women USAF pilots, and she was very angry that some unqualified women got through the system. The good ones were good, and the bad ones were - well Dorkbama level quota passes. All in all, roughly one in three pilot trainees can not hack it - no matter the race or sex.
But yes, we should worry about the liberal left’s propensity to always lower standards. And remember, the double standard is ALWAYS rule one when one is a leftist. And everything that is touched by a leftist turns to Obamastuff.
Sadly, so did Boeing. They stated they wanted 20% of all hires to be black.

Which means standards will be lowered to pass them through and into the cockpit and air traffic control tower.
You’ve been warned: Fly at your own risk.
