Yes, I vividly recall a physician I know, telling me, way back in 1978 when he was a medical student, that fellow students of a certain pigmentation were being "pushed through" the system, even though they were obviously unqualified to be physicians and that, as a result, he would never refer patients to such a person.
Requirements for med school were dumbed down in 1970 at the demand of feminists who were enraged that few women were making the cut. Think about the men who acquiesced here and so quickly too in 1970! Probably Harvard, I don’t now recall.
'In fairness, we don’t know for certain that 44-year-old Aska, who was born in Antigua, kept his job due to affirmative action and “equity.”'
Doens't stop the racist pigs from making the claim that it did, though.
Nursing too. Have a neighbor that taught nursing at a local college. She was told to pass along unqualified diversity students.
Have a close fiend that is a nurse practitioner. She said the quality of nurses and nursing has gone way down as hospitals try to cut expenses and show the diversity police they follow DIE mandates.
“My ex-wife was tarded, she’s a pilot now.”
Restrict these new equity pilots to routs leaving or arriving in Washington DC.
AND require EVERY congresscritter to fly commercial only!
At least you now call her Captain Ex-wife, and not Senator Ex-wife...
With the diversity push, sitting in an airplane at 35,000 feet will soon be similar to sitting in traffic under a new footbridge in Miami.
I swore off air travel when the TSA started feeling people’s privates.
That being said, our pediatrician was a black woman.
Got her originally because she was first available at the clinic, kept her because she was VERY good.
I do not care what race, color, or sex my pilot is. I do care that he or she black, white, asian etc. be competent, sane, and hired on merit only.
I have been flown by all the above prior to the lowering of standards. I had no qualms. Today I am not sure.
Hard to argue with that.
When forced to fly (a more than 1,500 mile trip for example) I always wait until I'm being patted down before asking
"You ain't gay are you?"
"NO"
"That's too bad, at least one of us should enjoy this..."
The last time it cracked up the TSA agent so badly he had to leave the area. The guy next to me at the put-your-shoes-back-on bench said "WHAT did you say to him???"
The powers that be envision us not traveling more than 15 minutes away from our assigned pods. With hiring policies like this they will destroy air travel, and with the phasing out of internal combustion vehicles, along with forcing electric cars on the public, they are nearing their goal.
WHO said THAT??
"diversity" in med schools has been going on for decades
When I went through USAF pilot training in 1990, women, minorities, and politically connected students got near infinite chances to fail and return to training.
Yes it says that “In fairness, we don’t know for certain that 44-year-old Aska, who was born in Antigua, kept his job due to affirmative action and “equity.” After all, crash investigators learned that he’d “withheld parts of his work history from the air carrier to conceal his troubles at other airlines,” reported ABC 13 in 2020.”
While also saying “The pilot had a history of acting “impulsively” during training and “an inability to remain calm during stressful situations,” an investigator said. These deficits would prove deadly, too, one fateful February day.”
They linked to the ABC story. “The National Transportation Safety Board determined that the co-pilot’s poor training and inability to handle pressure contributed to the crash of Atlas Air Flight 3591. The co-pilot withheld parts of his work history from the air carrier to conceal his troubles at other airlines and was a “train wreck” in training, board members and investigators said during a Tuesday hearing on the crash.”

“The board also highlighted past problems in Aska’s training, including that he hid his record from Atlas, and criticized the Federal Aviation Administration for being slow to set up a database of pilot records.
“The first officer’s training record was bluntly, well, terrible,” said NTSB Vice Chairman Bruce Landsberg.
The co-pilot’s training record showed he acted “impulsively” during training exercises at several previous airlines and had a history of failed check rides, in which an instructor or supervisor watches.
“He had an inability to remain calm during stressful situations,” investigator David Lawrence, a pilot, said.
The investigation determined that Aska had hid his record from Atlas by not disclosing he had spent time at two regional airlines.”
Special Operations has seen it too, just as cops and firemen went through it, first lower mental standards for males, and then lower physical for women when they started showing up.
I have my multi-engine license and after I get 78 more hours logged I can apply for my commercial license. A regional airline has already promised me a job for the two days a week I want to work.
I suspect white men would not be barred from these jobs if they want them. The main priority is getting a warm living body in the front seat.
For anybody interested, here is a lengthy article on the crash and how the FO jumped around from airline to airline:
