This simply affirms my determination to not ever fly anywhere ever again. I will not risk my life on an affirmative action piloted aircraft. Not going to happen.
Besides, the view is so much better with ground transportation. Yes, it takes longer to get some distance but, the views and experiences along the way are so much better.

We have had white male pilots be as stupid to discuss their contests of flight attendants causing them of not deploy flaps and crashes a commercial airliner.

We have had white male pilots attempt to change a cockpit lightbulb and fly the plane Into the ground.

We have had white make pilots let their 6 year old kid fly a plane and that plane crashed and killed all on board.

Why not let women and people other qualified minorities fly?

They could do better.

Are the airlines admitting that they wouldn’t hire women and persons of color because they’re White Supremacists? Sure sounds like it.

Every woman and POC that tried to become a pilot in the last 50 years that didn’t make it should get together in a class action lawsuit claiming discrimination.

They are forcing men out of high paying jobs everywhere. They never mention industries or professions that are dominated by women like nursing and physician assistants but anywhere where men dominate must be purged.
