ATLANTA, GA — In what some industry insiders have described as a clear case of "one-upmanship," Delta Airlines has raised the diversity, equity, and inclusion bar even higher after introducing its new "short plane" specifically designed for special needs pilots.

With increased scrutiny of late on airlines implementing DEI policies among crucial flight crew positions, the Atlanta-based airline giant took the unprecedented step of creating an entirely new model of aircraft to accommodate pilots who are either physically or mentally incapable of operating a standard aircraft.

Short plane. So funny.

In Delta’s defense, the plane does look easier to fly than the ones with the super-long fuselages.

“This new ‘Air Shortbus A330’...”

These guys are a hoot

Well, you now know what plane the Slow Joe Administration will be riding.

I hope accommodating the physically or mentally incapable includes those with alcohol needs.

While we are at it, why not hire more blind pilots? I ask you, where is the fairness?

Great satire, for the moment, until it becomes reality.
