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.
Can’t the FAA ground them if they are considered unsafe to fly? The FAA is the organization which issues flight certificates and ratings. I believe the FAA will not let foreign (or domestic) carriers who don’t meet standards land in the USA.
If they start to lower the standards, you’ll see unqualified crews landing at Cat III airports only. That will set up a similar scenario like the incident in San Francisco where the ILS went down and the crew was unable to hand-fly the aircraft.
The result? A landing short of the threshold into the approach lights. Flight directors will become the primary way commercial aircraft are operated.
