Equity Over Safety: Did an Affirmative-action Pilot Crash a Plane?
New American ^ | 2/25/2023 | Selwyn Duke

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.

"Aska hit the wrong switch as a result of turbulence and then became disoriented when the plane accelerated, he inadvertently plunged the craft into an unrecoverable dive."

Will "diversity" cause more plane crashes as..."United Airlines proudly announced its intention to ensure that 50 percent of the 5,000 pilots they train in the next decade will be women or “people of color.”

Diversity is simply anti-white racism.

“An airline’s purpose apparently isn’t to earn money providing air transport as efficiently and safely as possible, but to “advance racial equity by expanding career development opportunities.”

Keep that in mind next time you need to fly somewhere.

AA has contributed greatly to the dumbing down of America. The best people are not allowed to emerge from the pack. This is the intended consequence of the obsession with equity.

I plan on getting my last air travel in within the next couple of years. I don’t want to be flying airplanes in a nation with bureaucrats and regulators that have gone absolutely insane much longer than that.

“had a history of acting “impulsively”

A lot of blacks seem to generally have impulse control problems.

Diversity is simply anti-white racism.

Soon life expectancy of 41 yrs. or more in US will be labeled white privilege.

Now you understand why the elitist frauds fly on private jets.

It is difficult to surpass the equity, diversity, and inclusion in a plane crash. Typically, everybody, whether man or woman (or other), white or black, young or old, rich or poor, all die. So please add this “success” to the long list of other “successes” of the DEI movement.

I am thinking the same thing (ending air travel) - because of pilot diversity and just the general all-around hassle that airports have become.

Problem is, I have family on the East Coast and we enjoy traveling to Hawaii on vacation and there is simply no convenient way to get to either place except by air travel.

If I see an uptick in crashes, which I suspect, I will definitely stop traveling.

When the airline is more concerned with diversity than safety, it’s time to stop giving them my business - or trust them with my and my family’s safety.

They also hire the BEST pilots possible. You can be sure they aren’t concerned with “diversity” or “equity” but getting wherever they’re going as safely as possible.

One of my relatives is a private pilot for a well-known billionaire and has worked for him for decades - ex-military fighter pilot. And, he’s paid well for it.

“diversity, inclusion, and equity (DIE)”

The irony of the self fulfilling prophecy is unbelievable

This type of accident will become more common as people who are chosen based on ‘sexual kink, pigmentation or who their father or grandfather was’ are given jobs they’re not qualified for.

The solution?

Restrict these new equity pilots to routs leaving or arriving in Washington DC.

Think of “diversity” in medical schools. Yes, it’s happening.

"diversity" in med schools has been going on for decades.

Notwithstanding the famous California court case from the 70's, I know a young man with a 4.0 GPA in the early 90's who couldn't get accepted by any med schools.

Re” DIE

Not only that but we must define it for what it is. Diversity, Inequity and Exclusion. There is no equity in their solution so we can throw their word out. There is also no inclusion. If you are white or Christian you are not to be “included” but excluded from their equation. Their “diversity” plan starts and ends with perversity! Henceforth the DIE acronym is very appropriate.

Diversity

Inequity

Exclusion
